A resident of Wisconsin Greg Manteuffel went through the amputation of hands and feet due to a severe bacterial infectionthat had appeared in his body after a man licked a leg dog. Greg told reporters that he felt when he realized that the bacterium could kill him. Initially, the man came to the hospital with symptoms resembling the flu, which occurred at the end of June. However, very soon the 48-year-old patient was placed in the NICU because blood tests showed the presence of rare bacterial infection. It turned out that the man was the victim of the bacteria capnocytophaga, which is common and harmless among dogsbut deadly to humans.
The probability of infection with this bacterium is very low, and even lower chance of survival after the development of bacterial infection. Greg managed to do both. He slowly watched as the bacteria consumes his body, and doctors have to gradually cut off the hands, feet and even nose. The man’s face became red and blue, and this colour soon spread throughout the body. Greg immediately gave doctors permission to carry out any manipulation, including amputation, which only needed to save his life. The infection managed to stop and defeat, but the loss in the course of treatment was enormous.
