A teenager who was "let down" should have been given the right specialist treatment for her survival, an inquest heard.
Katie Wilkins was 14 when an "unusual" abscess was found after she complained of unbearable vaginal pains in June 2020. However, after weeks of back and fourth to the hospital, she was not diagnosed until late July when it was found she had a rare form of leukaemia.
After a short battle with the illness, Katie died at Alder Hey hospital on July 31, 2020. The inquest into her death began earlier this week as the family say she was drastically 'let down' by medical professionals.
