He Lost Parts Of His Hands And Feet From Something You And Your Kids Can Easily by agiolyciablog: 9:42am On Mar 24, 2017 |
He went to an urgent care clinic complaining of stomach pain, but his tests came back negative for the flu and strep throat. His condition didn't get any better, though, so he decided to go to the emergency room, where his stomach began to harden and enlarge. That's when doctors decided to open him up to figure out what was causing his condition. During surgery, they found three liters of pus surrounding his organs but didn't know what was causing it. They finally realized that it might be streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, a rare and life-threatening complication of streptococcal infection, when he developed a rash on his chest. Tests confirmed that he did have streptococcal bacteria in his body. "That strep organism, that is really common, somehow that went from his pharynx in his throat and made its way into his abdominal cavity," said Dr. Elizabeth Steensma, an acute care surgeon at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His condition quickly deteriorated into organ failure and severe septic shock. Doctors did everything they could to keep him alive, but the septic shock caused his blood to flow away from his hands and feet. http://ibomtvnews.com/he-lost-parts-of-his-hands-and-feet-from-something-you-and-your-kids-can-easily-get/
