  • Error of diagnosis to a girl to whom they amputated two legs

    Cadiz. (EFE) .-The Defender of the Patient of Andalusia has presented a demand for the "error" that the First aid services of the Hospital Door of Mar of Cadiz committed on having diagnosed wrongly a girl of fifteen months who ended up by suffering the amputation of two legs and neurological severe injuries.

    In a made public bulletin today, the Defender of the Patient tells that the first aid services of the said hospital " diagnosed erroneously " the girl flu A, when one took an infection as a septicemia meningocócica, that was determined " too much late ", which one produced to him " shock septic severely " with " catastrophic result ". The facts happened last November 19 when the parents of the small one, residents in Chiclana of the Border, came with his daughter to the hospital alarmed by the high fever that the minor was presenting. There " after examining it and exploring it with fonendoscopio, and without realizing any other type of diagnostic test (such as radiography, ultrasound scan, TAC, RMN, or even a blood test and urine) ", they diagnose flu A, they applied to him the protocol corresponding to this illness and gave to him of discharge. On having always come to his house, according to the Defender of the Patient of Andalusia, the girl " began with vomiting, convulsions, he was put himself by the hands and the lips of purple color and a few spots went out for him for the breast and neck ", after what the parents, already at dawn, returned to the same hospital. The pediatrician who had attended to them earlier, called another companion " that nothing any more to see her, it her decided to join the UCI ", where the small one remained 56 days, and wherefrom on December 19 it went out so that two legs were amputating him below the patella, since it was presenting an intense humid necrosis up to this level. The Defender of the Patient reproaches the first aid service that did not realize the sufficient tests to the small one to determine on time that there was enduring a sepsis produced by a bacterium called Neisseria Meningitidis Group B, with what it lost " the sanitary opportunity to recover on time ". This organization has interposed a heriditary claim previous " which object is to request, legal damages for the ancestors ", as it affirms in his bulletin. Nevertheless, sources of the Delegation in Cadiz of the Commission of Health have indicated to EFE that, to today, " it does not consist " no claim on this case. The sources indicated that " at first the performance of the hospital was correct " and on that both the hospital and the Commission put themselves at the disposal of the family of the girl or of the court in the one that could derive the demand to offer all the information is needed on this matter.
