A young mother in London, Ontario, tragically passed away from a Group A strep infection just days after giving birth to her third child. Celina Klinger-Evans, 29, died on January 19th, leaving her husband and four-year-old twin daughters heartbroken. The family received the devastating news after Klinger-Evans developed a rapid infection following her C-section delivery. Doctors believe the infection may be connected to a rise in invasive strep cases across Canada, potentially linked to the prolonged presence of COVID-19 and RSV.
Adrian GhobrialAdrian Ghobrial has the details of an Ontario mother who died of a strep A infection days after giving birth at a London, Ont. hospital.
On Jan. 17, Evans accompanied his wife, Celina Klinger-Evans, to the London Health Sciences Centre Hospital after she began having contractions. Following a C-section, the couple welcomed the arrival of their healthy baby boy Isaiah. Just two days later, the 29-year-old mother died. The morning after the delivery, Evans received a phone call from the hospital that his wife had an infection. From there, Klinger-Evans health deteriorated at an alarming pace.
The infection can, in rare cases, lead to death. It can also arise following a viral illness, some doctors have a working theory that the arrival of COVID-19 and a spike in RSV cases in recent years could be, in part, to blame. In an emailed statement the hospital wrote, “Our thoughts are with her family and with all who will feel this heartbreaking loss,” and added that “our care teams grieve these losses along with our patients’ families.”Overcome with grief, her father, Markus, notes that what happened to his daughter, “could happen to anybody, it could happen to any family member” he says.
