There were no violations of the medical and diagnostic process by the doctors from the Department of Emergency Medicine and the clinics of infectious diseases and anesthesiology and intensive care.

This is stated in the opinion of the University Hospital "St. St. George" in Plovdiv after the internal inspection because of the death of 27-year-old Elisaveta Staneva.

The young woman was hospitalized on May 9 in the infectious diseases clinic, suffering from fever, dehydration and intoxication. Her condition improved from treatment, but when her relatives went to see her on May 14, Elizabeth fainted and died a short time later.

A 27-year-old woman died in a hospital in Plovdiv.

According to her mother, Tsetsa Staneva, there was no doctor to pay attention to the 27-year-old patient, and a nurse gave her a heart massage. However, the hospital said the doctor and nurse on duty responded immediately and began life-saving actions. According to medics, Elizabeth died of complications of cardiomyopathy, but according to her mother, she did not suffer from heart problems.

The Medical Control Commission at the University Hospital "St. St. George" has accepted that the cause of death is not toxicoinfectious syndrome, which is adequately treated, controlled and controlled over time.

According to her, an existing but unproven cardiac pathology has led to the tragic case. The same was confirmed by the results of the pathological and anatomical autopsy.

Hashimoto's thyroidite, from which the patient had been ill for years, but in her words did not comply with her prescribed treatment, is listed as a background disease, which, however, aggravated the course of hidden cardiomyopathy.

"Decisive for the fatal outcome is precisely the accompanying asymptomatic disease, for which the patient had no reason to seek a doctor before, especially given her young age," the hospital said.
