A two-year-old child was put in a coma after becoming ill from food poisoning on a luxury Tui vacation.

Two-year-old Chloe Crook's dream vacation to Egypt turned into a nightmare when she fell ill just two days after arriving in Hurghada. Her parents had planned a luxurious break at the five-star Jaz Aquaviva resort in July, but unfortunately, their little one contracted E. Coli, possibly from contaminated food. Chloe started vomiting and had bloody diarrhea, prompting her parents to rush her to the hospital in an ambulance.

Initially, the doctors gave her antibiotics through an IV, hoping to cure her. However, her condition continued to deteriorate, and she even lost her vision temporarily and could not speak. To make matters worse, she developed bruising on her head, had seizures, and her kidneys were not functioning properly. The situation was critical, and she had to undergo emergency dialysis.

Further tests revealed that Chloe had Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome, a serious blood condition caused by E. coli bacteria, which can have severe consequences like brain damage. As a result, she had to be placed in a coma for four days to help her body recover. Even after returning home to Kent, Chloe's health was still at risk, and she had to take anti-seizure medication, blood thinners, and other medicines. She will also require annual check-ups of her kidneys.

Chloe's mother, Megan, shared that her daughter was a completely different child after coming home from Egypt. She used to be very social and loved going to nursery, but now she avoids interacting with people outside her immediate circle. Megan also mentioned that Chloe now needs assistance to move around, suffers from nightmares about her hospital experience, and may have a long-term health condition.

In light of this traumatizing experience, the family has sought legal help to investigate how Chloe contracted the illness and the resort's hygiene standards. Their lawyers, Irwin Mitchell, are looking into the matter and are determined to find answers for the Crook family. Jennifer Hodgson, one of the lawyers, stated that if any issues are identified during their investigation, necessary actions need to be taken to prevent other holidaymakers from falling ill in the future.

Interestingly, another holidaymaker, Samantha Rice, also fell ill during her stay at the same hotel in July. She contracted Shigella, a type of intestinal infection, and had to be hospitalized in both Egypt and the UK. Samantha experienced symptoms like bloody diarrhea, fatigue, stomach cramps, a rash, and a high temperature, which resulted in her being off work for 11 weeks. She has since returned to work on a part-time basis but may eventually lose her job if suitable adjustments cannot be made.

Samantha believes that the resort's hygiene was questionable, with flies hovering around the food and poor cleaning standards. She even came across a public toilet cubicle with feces smeared on the wall, left uncleaned for days. She is currently awaiting test results to see if her illness has led to diabetes and is seeking answers for her unfortunate experience.

When approached for a comment, a TUI spokesperson stated that they are unable to provide any information as the matter is under legal investigation. The Jaz Aquaviva Resort has also been contacted for a statement.
