The grandmother of a little girl who was named the ‘illest child in the UK’ by a consultant as she clung onto life battling a severe case of Strep A has warned parents of the signs that showed their family she was seriously unwell.
Camila Rose Burns, a four-year-old from Bolton, was left fighting for her life after contracting an invasive form of group Strep A. Terrified dad Dean Burns said he was ‘living in an absolute nightmare’ after her condition worsened at the end of November, seeing her rushed to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital to go onto a ventilator.
She needed emergency care by November 28, just days after she'd been happily dancing with friends on Friday evening. But almost two weeks on, Camila’s family say she has miraculously ‘pulled it round’.
