The doctors proceeded to amputate the 20-year-old student of the University of Patras who was diagnosed with meningitis after complications from the disease she developed.
When the girl’s condition worsened, she was transferred to the KAT
The student was transferred, approximately 20 days ago, from the University General Hospital of Patras, where she was being treated, to the KAT Hospital, as she presented with septic emboli, which created gangrene in the lower part of both her legs, according to information from tempo24.
The doctors at the CAT hospital made the decision to amputate both legs, from the knee down, to prevent the infection from spreading.
What do the doctors say?
According to information, her health condition is considered improved with doctors being optimistic that they managed to limit the damage.
It is recalled that the student collapsed on the evening of Wednesday, February 21, in the area of the Department of Mathematics, where she studies.
The 20-year-old’s fellow students called an ambulance, which transported the girl to the University General Hospital of Patras, where she was immediately intubated, as her condition was particularly aggravated.
When the young lady had escaped the danger, she had been transferred to the pathology clinic of the Rio hospital. However, she developed problems with her legs, as a result of which the treating doctors decided to transfer her to the intensive care unit, where it was finally deemed necessary to amputate her.
