Further details are available in Italian at the site of daily newspaper 'il Mattino di Padova', http://mattinopadova.gelocal.it/cro...a-bimba-colpita-da-un-batterio-killer-4698747

The article states that the young girl died of neurological complications after having developed haemolytic uremic syndrome secondary to a probable bacterial infection.

Laboratory investigations are ongoing in order to characterize the causative agent.
