The mum of a beautiful ‘princess’ has given a chilling warning after two-year-old Allie tragically died from E.coli. Little Allie Birchall was taken ill shortly after returning from a holiday in Turkey, where her family believe she caught the killed bacterial infection.
Now Allie’s family have warned other parents of the dangers of the potentially lethal infection. She initially suffered from vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhoea, just four days after returning from the holiday an inquest at Manchester Coroner’s Court heard last month, the MEN reports.
The court was told that Allie, from Atherton, near Wigan, rapidly deteriorated at Royal Bolton Hospital and was later found to have contracted a unique strain of Escherichia coli (E. coli). The coroner concluded it: ‘must have originated in Turkey but it is not possible to say how Allie acquired it’.
