A 17-year-old girl from Neath, Wales, died of a rare blood condition weeks after being misdiagnosed with tonsillitis, Wales Online reported.
Leah Roger got sick while on a trip with friends and at first, her doctors thought she had tonsillitis. But she was later diagnosed with a life-threatening immune disease called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an aggressive and life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation, according to UpToDate .
It primarily affects newborns from birth to 18 months of age, but it can also affect children and adults of all ages.

Leah passed away on June 7th, and her death left her family “devastated and unable to comprehend,” per Wales Online.
After her death, her family decided to raise money and teach people about ‘histiocytic diseases’ in order to “prevent other families [from] suffering the same.”
A fundraiser page was set up by her sibling, Becky Williams, to “raise awareness of ‘HLH’ and funds in donation to Histio UK.” Leah’s tragic tragedy was recounted by her sibling. Read below: Leah started suffering from swollen and painful tonsils shortly after her return from her first ‘parent free’ holiday to Majorca . Doctors diagnosed her with tonsillitis and sent her away with antibiotics. As a regular sufferer of tonsillitis several times a year, we thought nothing so cruel would follow. After several trips to A&E, she was diagnosed with glandular fever, and this condition would clear on its own.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
