Last December, Elise, 7 years old, suffered an infection with Escherichia coli bacteria while eating a piece of morbier. The young girl was only able to recover 20% of her kidney capacity following the incident. His parents decided to file a complaint against X.

A piece of morbier cost him two months of hospitalization. Last December, 7-year-old Elise suffered a kidney complication due to an infection with the Escherichia coli bacteria, present in the cheese she ate.

Living in Saint-Etienne-des-Ouillières, the young girl was transported to the Woman-Mother-Child hospital in Bron, report our colleagues from the Progrès. Her life prognosis being compromised, she was placed in an artificial coma. Elise was finally able to leave the hospital, but an entire medical system had to be installed in the family home.

A transplant considered

Peritoneal dialysis at night and strict diet, the return to school this Wednesday, May 15, was done under a certain supervision. Yet if the return to "normal life" occurs gradually, the young girl was only able to recover 20% of her kidney functions. A transplant is considered, but for the little girl's father, it is not a miracle solution: "A transplant does not last a lifetime. And his life expectancy is lower, he confides to our colleagues.

Complaint against X

It’s for all these reasons that Elise’s parents decided to file a complaint against X for endangering the lives of others. An investigation was opened to "determine the responsibilities of each of the actors in this matter", concluded the father.
