五个月大的埃丝塔·海于2023年11月在英国利兹总医院死于肺炎链球菌脑膜炎1。验尸庭调查发现，医院在诊断和治疗方面存在关键延误1。埃丝塔出现体温超过40摄氏度、呕吐、皮疹和肢体震颤等症状后，被延迟诊断长达55小时1。
验尸陪审团最终裁定埃丝塔死于自然原因，但医疗过失是贡献因素1。陪审团指出，"基于概率平衡，若埃丝塔获得所需护理，可能救活或延长其生命"1。调查还发现，埃丝塔在儿童评估治疗科的15小时期间存在"满是错失的机会"的情况1。
埃丝塔的父母林赛·卡尔和莱昂·海多次表达担忧。母亲林赛指出"我们极其担忧""我们不断请求帮助"，并称"工作人员态度粗鲁且不听我们的担忧"1。11月2日下午晚些时候，埃丝塔变得无反应，扫描显示脑膜脑炎和肺炎链球菌感染的证据1。埃丝塔于11月6日去世1。
A five-month-old girl, Esta High, died from pneumococcal meningitis at Leeds Teaching Hospital in November 2023 after experiencing a 55-hour diagnostic delay 1. Esta presented with a fever exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, vomiting, a rash, and tremors in her limbs, but medical staff postponed diagnosis and treatment after she tested positive for COVID-19 1. An inquest jury determined that while Esta died from natural causes, medical negligence was a contributing factor, and that based on the balance of probabilities, the child may have survived or lived longer had she received necessary care 1.
The hospital's children's assessment and treatment unit spent 15 hours attending to Esta, described as being "full of missed opportunities" 1. Her parents, Lynsey Carr and Leon High, repeatedly raised concerns about their daughter's condition, but staff dismissed their worries 1. On the afternoon of November 2, Esta became unresponsive, and scans subsequently revealed evidence of meningitis and pneumococcal infection 1. She died on November 6 1.
