The child was vaccinated, as was his twin brother, who is hospitalized at the Volos Hospital
From sepsis which caused multi-organ failure, a 1.5-year-old child died in Volos, on October 27.
The parents had not yet received answers about the cause of their child’s death from septic shock. Yesterday, according to exclusive information cited by gegonota.news, the laboratory results came out and the findings showed that the child was infected with a rare strain of pneumococcus, which was not covered by the vaccine.
The child was vaccinated, as was his twin brother, who is still hospitalized in Volos Hospital. The laboratory findings are the same for the second child. The children, according to the same information, had been vaccinated with a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine indicated to protect infants and toddlers against invasive pneumococcal disease, pneumonia and acute otitis media caused by the 13 serotypes included in the vaccine.
“There are rare strains, rare cases, that are not covered by the vaccine,” the doctors told gegonota.news.
Tthe child was taken to the Volos Hospital at noon on October 27 with a high feverThe. He immediately went into resuscitation with cardiac arrest.
“The child had five days of fever as we were informed. We did everything possible and what happened is unsurpassed. He had no pulse and his clinical picture showed us severe sepsis”, said the doctors who examined him and tried to revive him. For them it was obvious that septicemia was preceded by infection of the body (invasion of the human body by a microbe), which was discovered today.
As they explained, the microbe made a localized infection that spread and affected vital organs. It was learned that the child had a high fever as did his twin brother for five days, but neither child had a medical history.
The child was taken to the hospital in a serious condition accompanied by the attending pediatrician, who earlier when she examined him at her doctor’s office where the mother took him, gave him CPR. Doctors immediately decided to intubate him. Efforts were made to keep him alive, but the child had no pulse and eventually expired
