A rare, but devastating case, where a Punjabi-origin woman in the UK lost her limbs to sepsis after dog interaction.She fought for life for months in a hospital suffering cardiac arrests and quadruple amputation as doctors suspect bacteria may have entered her body through a small cut, possibly after the dog lick.After spending 32 weeks in the hospital, Manjit Sangha, 56, from the West Midlands has returned home and is determined to regain independence.She there underwent a quadruple amputation following a devastating battle with sepsis.According to BBC News, 56-year-old Punjab-origin woman fell critically ill last July after feeling unwell over a weekend. Within 48 hours, she was in a coma.“Your mind is all over the place,” her husband, Kam Sangha, told the BBC.“You’re thinking ‘how can this happen in less than 24 hours?’ One minute on a Saturday she’s playing with the dog, Sunday she’s gone to work, Monday night she’s in a coma.”Doctors believe bacteria may have entered her bloodstream through a tiny cut or scratch, potentially after one of the family’s dogs licked the wound. While such infections are extremely rare, medical professionals say the case highlights how rapidly sepsis can escalate.The NHS describes sepsis as a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body’s immune system overreacts to an infection and begins attacking its own tissues and organs. The UK Sepsis Trust estimates there are around 50,000 sepsis-related deaths in the UK each year.By the time Manjit Sangha was admitted to intensive care at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton, her condition had deteriorated dramatically. Her heart stopped six times. Surgeons later amputated both of her legs below the knee and both hands in a bid to stop the infection from spreading. She also lost her spleen, battled pneumonia and developed gallstones that may require further surgery.“I didn’t know what was happening,” she told the BBC.“The first month I do not remember anything. Losing your limbs and your hands in a short time period is a very big thing. It’s very serious and not to be taken lightly.”Despite doctors reportedly fearing she might not survive, Manjit Sangha was discharged from Moseley Hall Hospital in Birmingham to a “hero’s welcome” from family at their home near the Wolverhampton and Staffordshire border.Her husband, who has taken seven months off work to care for her, described her resilience as remarkable. “Every day was like ‘she’s going to go today’ but she proved us wrong every single day with what she’s been through,” he said.The couple, who spent their 37th wedding anniversary in hospital, are now fundraising for advanced prosthetic limbs, including potentially robotic hands, which could cost tens of thousands of pounds. More than £22,000 has already been raised.Manjit Sangha said her focus is firmly on recovery. “I want to get walking,” she said. “I’ve sat down in my chair and my bed enough. It’s time to walk now.”
