Little girl, 4, fighting for her life in Alder Hey with Strep A

A little girl is fighting for her life in Alder Hey Children's Hospital after contracting Strep A.

Camila Rose Burns, four, is currently on a ventilator at the hospital since Monday after she contracted the infection, Sky News said. The four-year-old's dad Dean Burns spoke to Sky News and said doctors told the family Camila was the "poorliest girl in the whole of England".

He added that the schoolgirl had been fine and dancing with her friends on Friday night before getting progressively more ill. Dean said: "She's still nowhere near out of the woods, she's really, really poorly. When we got here Monday, they said she's the poorliest girl in the whole of England.
