Tragic connection with her serious accident
For people, however, infection with the bacterium can be fatal, especially if there is an immune deficiency. A US case made headlines in 2019 in which a man lost parts of his nose, lips, arms and legs, after his dog gave him a 'dog kiss'. .
Charlbi Dean suffered from an immune deficiency after her spleen had to be removed as a result of a serious car accident in 2009. After a so-called splenectomy, the surgical removal of the spleen, affected people are more susceptible to a dangerous infection with the bacterium.
It is not known if the 32-year-old was bitten by an animal shortly before her death or otherwise came into contact with animal saliva, as the entire autopsy was not released. People magazine reports that Dean initially developed mild symptoms in late August before asking her fiancé Luke to take her to the hospital. She was dead just a few hours later. (vne)
