Seventh child reported to have died from Strep A as parents warned of signs and symptoms
On Saturday it was reported that a 12-year-old Year 8 pupil from a school in south London had died after developing the infection, according to The Guardian. This would take the total number of deaths to seven.
It comes amid a huge fundraising campaign for a four-year-old girl from Bolton said to be fighting for her life in hospital after contracting Strep A. Camila Rose Burns is on a ventilator at Alder Hey Children's Hospital and as reported in the Manchester Evening News her dad, Dean Burns, said hospital staff described her as 'the poorliest girl in the whole of England'. Dean said he has been 'living in an absolute nightmare' since her condition worsened last weekend.
"Dean and Kaye understandably have not and will not leave Camila's side during this absolutely heart-breaking situation. Due to this, there will be no income coming into the home. After many people have asked, I have decided to set up this page to help them with one less thing to worry about during this nightmare. We all pray for Camila and are with Dean and Kaye every step of the way.
