Earlier treatment may not have saved Aishwarya, doctor tells inquest
The seven year old girl died of sepsis last year after being left in a waiting room at Perth Children's Hospital
An infectious diseases expert says Aishwarya Aswath faced a “perfect storm” of an extremely high bacterial load and the onset of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome on the night she died of sepsis at Perth Children’s Hospital.
The combination gave her little chance of survival without immediate treatment from hospital staff, Dr David Speers told the inquest into her death on Wednesday.
