A 10-year-old girl who battled leukaemia for six years lost her life after developing a transplant complication, an inquest has heard.
Keisha Jade Watson died at the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) in Newcastle after suffering from multi organ failure. An inquest into her death heard how she had been given treatment, including two bone marrow transplants, in an attempt to remove the cancer from her body.
However, she developed Transplant Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA), a recognised complication of bone marrow transplant. The condition led to her suffering multi organ failure and she sadly passed away at the hospital on March 19 last year.
