A 12-year-old girl died Tuesday
at Bari's Giovanni XXIII's hospital after surgery on a
thigh-bone fracture, sources said Wednesday. The girl never came
round after the operation as she was hit by malignant
hyperthermia, a severe reaction to general anesthesia
medications that can cause extremely high fever, among other
symptoms, sources said. The girl had Colombian origins and was
adopted by an Italian couple when she was six.
