Italy - Lecce: baby 15 months in a coma - myocarditis by influenza A-H1N1 - died

[tetano]

LECCE - hit by influenza type A. This is the first verdict (who must necessarily be confirmed by further analysis) for the child that a week is in the hospital to "Vito Fazzi". The small and in a coma, even if yesterday there was a faint signal, a very slight recovery of brain activity. A small detail to which you cling on my mother and father.


A calvary, that of two parents and their baby to just 15 months from the dawn of Sunday last fought an unequal struggle between life and death. Everything began with New Year's Eve, when the baby is carried in the Emergency room and from here hijacked for a consultancy in Pediatrics. Tonsillitis, this diagnosis of the pediatrician on duty who prescribes a antibiotic therapy is a antipyretic, in the case of high fever. So back home because the medical protocol does not provide shelter, in these cases. But after two days, i.e. last Saturday, in the morning, the parents return to the hospital because the child does not improve. At that point, the shelter is because there is a acute gastroenteritis and, consequently, a state of dehydration. The therapy, according to what is written by department, seem to work so much that the baby in the afternoon shows signs of improvement. But the tragedy is just around the corner.

LECCE - THE autopsy made today on the baby of 15 months died in Lecce due to complications of the flu season has highlighted serious brain damage, a serious state of suffering cardiac and pulmonary and, above all, a serious infection in one lung. The status of physical impairment - second legal source of the family of the small - cannot be due to a recent event, attributable to the day before the death, but was definitely in act already at the time of the second access to the emergency room, the January 4, three days after the first access when the small was sent home.
