Mum, dad and daughter die of pneumonia in same week
By: thinkSPAIN , Monday, February 16, 2009
THREE people in the same family have died of a severe strain of pneumonia in the past week.
Mother, father and daughter were all admitted to Valencia General Hospital with serious breathing problems at the end of January.
The father and daughter were in the intensive care unit whilst the mother was being cared for on the ward.
She was later transferred to intensive care when her condition worsened.
The mother died on Friday, just a few days after her husband and daughter.
According to the ministry of health, their case is atypical and they are awaiting the results of the autopsies to find out whether there was an hereditary condition at work.
No other members of the family are said to have been affected.
