News summary

Two tragic cases of young girls dying from sepsis have sparked urgent calls for increased awareness and better medical responses to the condition. Mia Glynn, 8, was sent home twice by her GP despite severe symptoms, only to later suffer cardiac arrest and die from septic shock caused by a Strep A infection. Similarly, five-year-old Cathy Kassis was misdiagnosed and sent home without proper examination, leading to a cardiac arrest at home and her subsequent brain death. Both families emphasize the need for parents to advocate for their children and ask critical questions about potential sepsis symptoms. The UK Sepsis Trust highlights the importance of recognizing sepsis early, as it can lead to life-threatening complications if not treated promptly. These heartbreaking stories underscore the necessity for healthcare professionals to take children's ailments seriously and ensure thorough evaluations.
