Another horrific incident came to light with a child victim. Specifically, a three-year-old girl died in "Ippokratio" in Thessaloniki, with the parents filing a lawsuit in order to investigate the possibility of a medical error.

The adventure that ended in tragedy for the three-year-old girl began on Holy Tuesday, when he was admitted to the "Papageorgiou" hospital with swelling in his ankle.

After a few days of hospitalization, his health deteriorated, with the hospital doctors even examining the possibility of "Kawasaki" disease.

Suffered and cerebral edema

After the biopsy was performed, both the possibility of acute systemic vasculitis and that of long covid were ruled out, as antibodies were detected in his body.

With his health deteriorating, the three-year-old girl was transported by intubation on Saturday to Hippocrates, at 12 noon, where within about two and a half hours, he ended up.

According to information from ThessToday.gr, the doctors did not reach a diagnosis, a fact that raises questions as to the causes that led to the death. Also, the same information states that the little girl also suffered cerebral edema.

Lawsuit from parents

The parents, refusing to believe the tragic development, were taken to the Toumba Police Department in order to file a lawsuit for the death of their child, expressing suspicions of a medical error.

According to information from ThessToday.gr, an autopsy is expected to be performed - an autopsy, which will shed "light" on the death of the three-year-old child.
