Her doctor now says she is a"textbook" case ofLeah, 14, had been sick for days, but when her condition worsened last week she knew she had to see a doctor.
"She presented with fever, red eyes, abdominal pain and a blood pressure of only 70 over 30 -- so very, very low," Dr. Mark Buchholz, Leah's doctor at Randall Children's Hospital, told ABC News."Her primary care doctor actually had heard and knew of this syndrome and called the paramedics and sent her over to the emergency department really quickly.
Since being admitted, Leah has responded incredibly well to treatment, which includes blood thinners and immunoglobulin. At least five children have died from PMIS in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday, including a 5-year-old in New York City."This is truly disturbing," Cuomo said."We raise it because it's something parents should be aware of."
