coli) which must have originated in Turkey but it is not possible to say how Allie acquired it."Doctors were concerned that Allie was suffering from Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome caused by Shiga[-Toxin] producing Escherichia coli.Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome is a potentially fatal blood condition linked to Shiga-Toxin E.

coli which can lead to kidney failure and brain damage.Allie was placed into an induced coma on August 1 and her family made the heart-wrenching decision to terminate her life support two days later after an MRI scan revealed she had suffered brain damage, they told the inquest.After almost three years of waiting for answers about what happened to their little girl, the family hopes others might be spared their suffering.Allie’s mum Katie, 36, said: “Losing our little Allie so tragically and suddenly was heartbreaking for us all, and it’s still incredibly difficult to think we’ll never see her again.“When she was admitted to hospital, we were all praying she would pull through.
