A TWO-year-old girl suffered a blood clot and was put in a coma after a bout of food poisoning on an all-inclusive holiday in Egypt.
Chloe Crook flew to the Jaz Aquaviva resort in July with her parents on a trip booked through tour operator TUI.
After suffering severe gastric problems, tests revealed her kidneys were not working properly and she underwent emergency dialysis.
Chloe was found to have Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome, a potentially fatal blood condition linked to the E. coli bacteria, which can lead to brain damage.
Returning home, Chloe. of Kent, was placed into a coma for four days, before developing pneumonia and blood clots in her neck and arm.
Mum Megan and dad Alex instructed lawyers.
Megan, 34, said since her hospital discharge, she needs assistance to move freely and now suffers “nightmares” from her horrendous experience.
She said: “Since coming home, Chloe is a totally different girl.
“She used to be very social and loved going to nursery, but now she shies away from interacting with people outside her immediate circle.
“She’s also started having nightmares about being in hospital; waking up screaming and shouting “no,” repeatedly and it’s horrible to see how affected she is.
“Chloe has been left traumatised by what she has been through, and it has been incredibly difficult to try and come to terms with what’s happened.”
TUI has declined to comment.
The resort was contacted for comment.
