SCHICKSALE - Augenlicht in Gefahr: Ein kleiner Ratscher in die Haut verursacht bei Claire Taylor eine gefährliche Infektion
Claire and Carmen most recently (PA Real Life/Collect) *** Mum releases shocking pictures showing how a tiny cut sparked a
dangerous infection that left doctors fearing she would lose her
eye
By Erin Cardiff, PA Real Life
A mum has released shocking pictures showing how a tiny cut sparked a dangerous
skin infection that caused her head to balloon and left doctors fearing she would lose
her eye.
Initially, Claire Taylor, 47, thought little of it when she caught herself on a car door
one day in July 2019, sustaining a tiny cut to the corner of her left eye.
But within 36 hours, her face had swollen dramatically and she had become delirious,
drifting in and out of consciousness.
Claire, a single mum from Basildon in Essex said: "It was horrendous. I was so out of
it."
The only other person at home with Claire was her daughter Carmen, then six, who
did not realise how ill her mum was.
But luckily the little girl managed to open the door to a friend of Claires - who had
become concerned after hearing how groggy she sounded on the phone - and
paramedics were called.
She was blue-lighted to hospital and diagnosed with cellulitis a potentially serious
infection affecting the deeper layers of the skin.
Despite medics fearing she would lose her left eye, she managed to keep it - but has
been left with ongoing balance problems after the build-up of fluid and pressure
affected her brain.
Claire, who has now rebuilt her life and become a fashion designer, said: "If my friend
hadnt decided to check on me, I believe without a doubt Id be dead.
Poor Carmen would have been in the house with me. It doesnt bear thinking about.
She was petrified and didnt want to look at me for a while when my eye was still
swollen.
Ive spoken to her since and explained how to call 999 and what to sa y and now I
want to spread the message to other parents that its important kids know what to do
in an emergency.
Ive always thought life is for living so its really shockin

her eye.
Initially, Claire Taylor, 47, thought little of it when she caught herself on a car door
one day in July 2019, sustaining a tiny cut to the corner of her left eye.
But within 36 hours, her face had swollen dramatically and she had become delirious,
drifting in and out of consciousness.
Claire, a single mum from Basildon in Essex said: "It was horrendous. I was so out of
it."
The only other person at home with Claire was her daughter Carmen, then six, who
did not realise how ill her mum was.
But luckily the little girl managed to open the door to a friend of Claires - who had
become concerned after hearing how groggy she sounded on the phone - and
paramedics were called.
She was blue-lighted to hospital and diagnosed with cellulitis a potentially serious
infection affecting the deeper layers of the skin.
Despite medics fearing she would lose her left eye, she managed to keep it - but has
been left with ongoing balance problems after the build-up of fluid and pressure
affected her brain.
Claire, who has now rebuilt her life and become a fashion designer, said: "If my friend
hadnt decided to check on me, I believe without a doubt Id be dead.
Poor Carmen would have been in the house with me. It doesnt bear thinking about.
She was petrified and didnt want to look at me for a while when my eye was still
swollen.
Ive spoken to her since and explained how to call 999 and what to sa y and now I
want to spread the message to other parents that its important kids know what to do
in an emergency.

spotted a white glow on a flash photo has celebrated
her first birthday cancer free
By Harriet Whitehead, PA Real Life
A brave little girl who had her eye removed at just five months old because of rare
retinoblastoma, after her parents became worried by a white glow on a flash photo, has
celebrated her first birthday cancer free.
When Dela-Rose Denham, of Dover, Kent, was born, dental nurse Shelby Simkins and
landscaper Ryan Denham, both 26, noticed a squint in their daughter's left eye.
But when Shelby mentioned the flash photo snapped of the baby at three months, at a GP
appointment in September 2019, where Dela was being examined for a viral infection, she
was advised to take her to an optician.
Referred on again to an ophthalmologist, or eye surgeon, at Margates Queen Elizabeth
The Queen Mother Hospital, Dela then had further tests at Dover's Buckland Hospital,
where retinoblastoma - cancer of the retina caused by a faulty gene, affecting under fives
and diagnosed in around 45 children a year, according to the NHS - was diagnosed.
Recalling her first appointment in Margate, Shelby said: The ophthalmologist was asking
Dela to follow toys around and using a light in her left eye. Her eye was not fixing on
anything and she didnt like the light being shone in it.
But it was when I mentioned the flash photograph, with the whi te glow in her left eye, that
the ophthalmologist looked worried.
"I'd taken it after seeing Dela lying facing me on my knees looking at me. She'd just had
her milk and it was all over her face, so I wanted a picture for the memory.
I took it on my phone and didnt realise the flash was on, but you could see her right eye
was red, while the left one had this white glow in it.
I thought at first it was just the flash and the funny angle Id taken the picture at, but I

Claire and Carmen (PA Real Life/Collect) *** Mum releases shocking pictures showing how a tiny cut sparked a
dangerous infection that left doctors fearing she would lose her
eye
By Erin Cardiff, PA Real Life
A mum has released shocking pictures showing how a tiny cut sparked a dangerous
skin infection that caused her head to balloon and left doctors fearing she would lose
her eye.
Initially, Claire Taylor, 47, thought little of it when she caught herself on a car door
one day in July 2019, sustaining a tiny cut to the corner of her left eye.
But within 36 hours, her face had swollen dramatically and she had become delirious,
drifting in and out of consciousness.
Claire, a single mum from Basildon in Essex said: "It was horrendous. I was so out of
it."
The only other person at home with Claire was her daughter Carmen, then six, who
did not realise how ill her mum was.
But luckily the little girl managed to open the door to a friend of Claires - who had
become concerned after hearing how groggy she sounded on the phone - and
paramedics were called.
She was blue-lighted to hospital and diagnosed with cellulitis a potentially serious
infection affecting the deeper layers of the skin.
Despite medics fearing she would lose her left eye, she managed to keep it - but has
been left with ongoing balance problems after the build-up of fluid and pressure
affected her brain.
Claire, who has now rebuilt her life and become a fashion designer, said: "If my friend
hadnt decided to check on me, I believe without a doubt Id be dead.
Poor Carmen would have been in the house with me. It doesnt bear thinking about.
She was petrified and didnt want to look at me for a while when my eye was still
swollen.
Ive spoken to her since and explained how to call 999 and what to sa y and now I
want to spread the message to other parents that its important kids know what to do

Claire and Carmen (PA Real Life/Collect) *** Mum releases shocking pictures showing how a tiny cut sparked a
dangerous infection that left doctors fearing she would lose her
eye
By Erin Cardiff, PA Real Life
A mum has released shocking pictures showing how a tiny cut sparked a dangerous
skin infection that caused her head to balloon and left doctors fearing she would lose
her eye.
Initially, Claire Taylor, 47, thought little of it when she caught herself on a car door
one day in July 2019, sustaining a tiny cut to the corner of her left eye.
But within 36 hours, her face had swollen dramatically and she had become delirious,
drifting in and out of consciousness.
Claire, a single mum from Basildon in Essex said: "It was horrendous. I was so out of
it."
The only other person at home with Claire was her daughter Carmen, then six, who
did not realise how ill her mum was.
But luckily the little girl managed to open the door to a friend of Claires - who had
become concerned after hearing how groggy she sounded on the phone - and
paramedics were called.
She was blue-lighted to hospital and diagnosed with cellulitis a potentially serious
infection affecting the deeper layers of the skin.
Despite medics fearing she would lose her left eye, she managed to keep it - but has
been left with ongoing balance problems after the build-up of fluid and pressure
affected her brain.
Claire, who has now rebuilt her life and become a fashion designer, said: "If my friend
hadnt decided to check on me, I believe without a doubt Id be dead.
Poor Carmen would have been in the house with me. It doesnt bear thinking about.
She was petrified and didnt want to look at me for a while when my eye was still
swollen.
Ive spoken to her since and explained how to call 999 and what to sa y and now I
want to spread the message to other parents that its important kids know what to do
in an emergency.
Ive always thought life is for living so its really shocking how close I
