Benevento, 13-year-old died with high fever: unnecessary rush to hospital

Sudden death for a 13 year old from Benevento who, in the early afternoon of yesterday, felt ill which arose following a very high fever. The boy’s condition suddenly worsened and his family requested the intervention of the health workers 118 and both the medical ambulance and the Red Cross CPR arrived on site but the rescue efforts proved useless.

THE STORY

However, upon arrival at the Rummo emergency room the doctors, determined not to give up, continued with resuscitation procedures without success because the 13-year-old was already in cardiac arrest. The confusion in the emergency room was at its greatest together with the team’s firm determination not to give up and to continue the resuscitation maneuvers for over two hours but the boy’s heart never showed signs of recovery. The death was most likely caused by a cardiac arrest which left him with no escape but it will still be necessary to ascertain the causes which could be attributed to various pathologies ranging from myocarditis to fulminant meningitis.

THE SCENERY

Currently, everything is to be defined but until 8pm last night the boy’s family had not forwarded any complaint to the Benevento carabinieri company. In the absence of the involvement of the police on the part of the family members, it was the emergency room doctors themselves who requested the autopsy examination on the body, currently transferred to the Rummo morgue, which will be prepared in the next few days. In fact, a sudden and sudden death that occurs in a boy as young as 13 years old requires in-depth investigations to identify the reason and any unidentified previous pathologies. What is certain is that in recent years, we are increasingly witnessing episodes of sudden death that arises following a fever apparently attributable to a flu syndrome or persistent abdominal pain.

THE PREVIOUS

It had already happened a few years ago to three children aged between 12 and 16, who died in a few hours in circumstances that were quite difficult to understand. Only for one of the three, the illness that had occurred. Not counting the episode of the three-year-old girl transported by air ambulance to Santobono in Naples in an air ambulance who was thought to have meningitis.
