16-year-old girl fighting for her life in Montreal hospital after being diagnosed with the disease carnivorous. The teenager has just released the boy. Doctors can not explain how Melissa Belanger contracted necrotizing fastsyyt, the medical term for this disease. They gave Belanger and her baby a clean bill of health after she gave birth in mid-March. But soon after she returned home, she got high fever and abdominal pain. "She was in great shape before she delivered, but soon after she suffered severe pain," her sister, Kathy Huard, told CTV Montreal in French. It turned out that the young mother has been developed so-called carnivorous disease, a rare infection. Belanger was taken to hospital. "It was probably after the media and in any case the strattera 25mg infection had spread to the region affected by the supply," said Dr. Eva Sidorowicz of Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital. The hospital had to remove the genitals teenager and may have to amputate part of its members. She is currently in induced coma. "She's in intensive care right now, it was a few operations, it is on antibiotics," according to Sidorowicz. Sister of the victim said that the hospital should have seen the coming of infection after childbirth. "My sister was being eaten from the inside, and they have not seen," said Huard. But experts say the disease develops very quickly to be detected. "Fabrics attacked at least 24 to 48 hours after the first symptoms," Dr. Francois Lamothe, microbiologist, said in French. This disease - which can be caused by many different bacteria - destroys tissue and can cause death within days. There are 90 to 200 cases of illness annually carnivorous, and between 20 and 30 percent of these cases lead to death. Symptoms can be fever and painful swelling that feels hot. The skin around the injury may be purple, and then dies. But in some cases, the bacteria are at the surface of the skin, and no obvious external signs. Carnivorous disease survivors said that people should immediately contact a doctor if they experience symptoms above, or pain that is not in proportion to injury (which may include excruciating pain, paper cut, or inability to walk on the face BC ). "Be sure to clearly tell your history and symptoms consult a doctor if the flesh is a disease of opportunity," said Catherine Mulvale, associated with the International Centre for Infectious Diseases. "Disease is still very rare and may not be the obvious choice."
