Infection spreading in Delhi rape victim: Doctors

NEW DELHI: The 23-year-old Delhi gang-rape victim was "stable" but there was a danger of infection spreading in her body in the next few days, a doctor said here Friday adding that the infection hasn't "flared up" as of now.

"Her WBC (white blood cell) count is 1,500 which is low and this means that she is less immune to infections... These are early signs of sepsis," B.D. Athani, medical superintendent of Safdarjung Hospital, told reporters here.

Sepsis is a potentially deadly medical condition characterised by a whole-body inflammatory state caused by severe infection.

"To fight the infection, we are administering antibiotics to the patient. We are also maintaining the highest levels of hygiene in her ward. I request members of the public to try and not visit the victim's ward, so that its level of hygiene is maintained," he added.
