A young nursery worker died after developing both acute autoimmune hepatitis and Covid-19 while waiting for a liver transplant, an inquest has heard.
Katie Horne, 21, died on April 11 2020, just over a month after she first visited the Princess Royal Hospital in West Sussex with jaundice, dark urine, tiredness and cramps.
She was later transferred to King’s College Hospital in London with the aim of having a liver transplant, but tested positive for Covid-19, meaning she was prevented from receiving a transplant due to the medical guidance in place at the time.
