I realise its sometimes not fatal...both her and her sister had it in the same week, My friend passed away when she was 18...
They were both in hospital for 1 week, with the younger sister having the more severe case...the older sister got better...the younger one actually left her hospital bed to do her university entrance exams and then went back to the hospital after the exam.
When they started to "lose" her, im assuming went into a coma...they tried to revive her by jump starting her heart again... thats when she starting turning purple (from all the brusing) and started bleeding from the nose, mouth etc etc..and that was it...
Currently in Jakarta here, the hospitals are overcrowded with people being treated in the hallways...
