Jamie Guthrie was just three-years-old when he developed necrotising pneumonia before suffering an extreme allergic reaction to antibiotics as medics tried to treat him.
A Scots boy with a 'wheezy' chest was left fighting for life after an invasive Strep A infection caused his lung to suddenly collapse. Jamie Guthrie, from St Monans, Fife, underwent emergency surgery after developing necrotising pneumonia in January 2023.
Mum-of-two Lynsey, 29, told the Record: “It was just the most traumatic time for all of us and we’re still trying to process everything that happened. He’s always struggled with his chest so when I noticed him wheezing, I took him to the doctor as a precaution. “We called the hospital but within minutes, he deteriorated even further. He was working really hard to breathe, his stomach was contracting and he started getting drowsy.
Lynsey added: “Thank God that we were in the hospital when he deteriorated so they caught it immediately and that his doctor didn’t wait. She literally saved his life. If they’d waited 48 hours for the results to come back, he would not have been here.”
