A glamorous law student died after suffering a severe allergic reaction while undergoing a routine medical procedure.
Leticia Paul, 22, was getting a contrast-enhanced CT scan at the Alto Valle Regional Hospital in Rio du Sul, Brazil on Wednesday when she went into anaphylactic shock, local outlets reported.
The severe reaction came from the fluid that is injected into the body before a scan.
The law student was immediately intubated at the hospital, but she died less than 24 hours after the procedure, her aunt Sandra Paul told G1.
The aunt explained that her niece had a history of kidney stones and underwent the CT scan, which uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sections of the body.
