School Waits 2 Weeks for Death Notice of Contagious Child
posted 1:46 pm Tue February 26, 2008 - Washington
Parents already knew 11-year-old Dionshae Robinson had died, what they didn't know and just recently found out was the little girl was diagnosed with MRSA, a deadly and extremely contagious anti-biotic resistant staff infection. The school sent out a notice from the Health Department home to parent Monday.
"A case of MRSA was recently reported at Bunker Hill Elementary," "MRSA...may be more difficult to treat and possibly lead to more serious infections like pneumonia and bloodstream infections."
Robinson had been out of school for several days before her death and school officials say the Health Department determined her illness did not pose an imminent threat to her students.
