A Brit did not allow his own mother to recognize his own mother when a mosquito bite turned out to be a deadly 'brain swelling' disease, now it is confronted with £ 50,000 in accounts – as his insurance proceeds earlier.
Andrew Court visited his friend Zeke Scott in Bali before he started a new job when he fell ill from fever and fell ill last month.
The business supplier was shrugged as dug fever, a tropical disease spread by infected mosquitoes, the business supplier rested in the hope he would recover quickly.
But three days after he got sick, Andrew's friend Zeke was shocked to discover that he had suffered several attacks and he was taken to the hospital.
There doctors carried out a series of tests and gave a 'devastating' diagnosis of pneumonia and viral encephalitis that causes swelling in the brain – while tests for dug fever were negative.
Andrew's family and Zeke, who all hurried to be at his bed, are in the dark about what caused the deadly state.
Zeke, 40, said that Andrew is in a 'blank state' and apart from the short recognition of his mother fourteen days ago, he is still not aware of who someone is.
Andrew's health insurance policy was only a week before the attacks went and Zeke said he had to renew it as soon as he started a new job in February.

Encephalitis is a serious condition that causes swelling of the brain. But doctors are not aware of what caused Andrew's disease
Andrew is reportedly disoriented and could not recognize his mother after she flew to Bali to be by his side
The family has now set up a GoFundMe to fly home to Buxton, Derbantshire, which costs around £ 30,000, While every night on the ICU the Brit costs around $ 1,000.
Setting up fundraising, Andrew's loved ones wrote: 'Andrew is loved by many and is larger than life. He is also extremely proud and modest; Although he will be eternally grateful for all your love and support, we suspect that he will also be overwhelmed.
'Our wish is to give Andrew the treatment needed to enable him to be home as quickly as possible. Every help with this is greatly appreciated '.
The family has already collected £ 32,500 of the goal of £ 50,000.
Zeke, from Pererenan, Bali, Indonesia, said: “The only thing that is confirmed is that he has viral encephalitis and pneumonia.
“He had a little fever at night for a few nights, was a bit nauseous and threw.
'We originally thought it was dengue, which is a virus transferred by mosquitoes, which would result in a very extreme case such as the viral encephalitis, but the test came back negatively.
'They constantly test him, they focus on dealing with encephalitis because of the swelling of the brain.
The Andrew family has now set up a GoFundme to bring the British house to Buxton in Derbyshire. Until now they have collected around £ 32,500 of a goal of £ 50,000
'He recognized his mother on Thursday last week and gave her a big hug, but not long after he was not aware of who [anyone] Was and went to an empty state.
'He will be present by phases and there are often times that he is not present.
“He had an MRI and they still try to determine whether the swelling of the brain or damage is. Unfortunately, it is a different level of medical care.
'Last week we were all exhausted and confused, when I heard that he did not recognize his mother, we all shot our eyes. It was a very big step back for us.
“He has a treatment that the infection has to stop, but he is still not present.
“He is currently on every medicine under the sun.”
Gym loving Andrew, from Buxton, East Midlands, visited Zeke in Bali and was about to take a job on a neighboring island.
The engineer and constructor said that Andrew's insurance had expired only a week before the attacks and he started renewing as soon as he started his new job in February.
Zeke said: 'The only thing we know is that he had been a little light in the head in the days before and in the night.
'He would start a new job in February for a British company and work on an island near Bali.
“His insurance was about a week before he fell ill, it was really a bad timing.”
Andrew's brother Stewart Court did not flown to visit him in the hospital for fear of 'emphasizing' him if he does not recognize him.
The 34-year-old said that the family takes 'day to day' and will make decisions based on his progress.
Andrew's test comes weeks after Dean Penson (photo) died after having fallen ill on the Thai island of Phuket. While he was flown back to the UK to get treatment, he died in the hospital last month
Stewart said: 'I was shocked, relieved, it is very, very difficult. It is devastating to know that he is there, with me over the other side of the water.
'At the moment we just take it from day after day. It is a condition if we do not want to emphasize him overly.
“He has his mother and father outside and still tries to remember things, but we have to remind him every day where he is and why he is there.
'I didn't even have a chat or a video call because it can emphasize him, not knowing who I am at the time, so we take it every day. We are devastated. '
Stewart said: 'I have been enormously appreciation for what people have done and it is blown what they have been able to donate.
'It is also proof of how many people love him, including friends that he went to high school who donated £ 1,000.
Andrew's test comes only a few weeks after a British man who was stranded in a 'Hell Hole' Thais Hospital after he died on vacation after a fundraiser helped to pay for his return.
Dean Penson, 41, became unwell on the island of Phuket, on the southern tip of the country, in November and was urgently taken to the hospital for blood and platelet fuses, with doctors who fear he had leukemia.
In addition to his frightening prognosis, the worker was confronted with 'horrible' circumstances in the government-run Vachira Phuket Hospital because he received no insurance for the vacation he took with his friends.
Doctors then discovered that Dean had an extremely low blood count, which meant that he had to undergo about 20 transfusions in the next ten days.
Friends said the infirmary peeing blood on the floor had needles on the ground and people who walked out of him on just a few feet every day.
Dean's friend Ben Page organized a fundraising to pay for his treatment abroad and to get him at home.
He was finally flown back to the UK, where he was admitted Southend Hospital in Essex, near where he lived, on November 30, but he died in the hospital last month.
