A mum has released shocking pictures of her teen daughter fighting an inflammatory disease she believes was caused by Covid-19.
Grace Havens, 13, was hospitalised after developing a red rash, severe pain and inflamed organs. She was later diagnosed with Henoch-Sch nlein Purpura (HSP) - similar to Kawasaki Disease.
The childhood inflammatory syndrome is a secondary condition triggered by an initial illness. Her mother, event planner Rachel Havens, 47, believes her daughter developed HSP as a result of Covid-19.
Rachel and her husband, psychological therapist Justin Havens, 52, are waiting for an antibody test to confirm this. They are speaking out to spread awareness of this possible secondary illness.
