Sakitnya terkena air panas..

Seorang bayi nyaris maut selepas terkena setitik air teh panas, lapor media semalam.
Alexander Caven-Atack baru berusia 10 bulan apabila kesan kecederaan akibat titisan air panas itu dijangkiti kuman.

Akibat insiden itu, doktor terpaksa membuang 80 peratus daripada lapisan atas kulitnya dan dirawat di hospital. Kesan melecur akibat air panas itu dirawat doktor di Hospital Colchester, tetapi mereka terlepas pandang jangkitan yang berlaku.

Lima hari selepas itu, kulit belakang, tangan dan muka bayi terbabit mula melepuh dan menggelupas.
Dia dikejarkan ke unik kebakaran di Hospital Broomfield di Chelmsford dan doktor di situ terpaksa membuang 80 peratus daripada kulitnya.

Malah, ibu bapa Caven-Atack turut diingatkan, nyawa anak mereka mungkin terancam dalam pembedahan itu. Bagaimanapun, Caven-Atack kini pulih sepenuhnya. - DM

Alexander received the 10p piece-sized burn when he grabbed his father's cup of tea as they sat in the garden on September 3 last year.
'It tipped over him and over his bare legs,' Mr Caven-Atack said.
'I ran with him to the kitchen and took his clothes off straight away.'
The burn triggered the extremely rare Scalded Skin Syndrome, an infection caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus, and the youngster needed 13 days of hospital treatment.
