A young girl struck down with Strep A was initially misdiagnosed in a text from a GP, her mum has said.
Five-year-old Farrah from Co Down, Northern Ireland, fell ill in September last year and developed a very visible rash, which a doctor is said to have wrongly believed to be caused by antibiotics.
She was diagnosed with Strep A three months later, in December, and admitted to hospital after suffering from pneumonia.
