Septic shock kills 28-year-old influencer Laleska Alexandre

Laleska Alexandre, a Brazilian influencer and designer, passed away in early February at the age of 28. At the time of her death, she was hospitalized in the metropolitan region of Cariri, according to what her family told CNN.

According to the information provided, the cause of death was septic shock resulting from an infected fallopian tube.

Laleska began to feel unwell a few days before she died. As her cousin told Brazilian media, she went to the hospital to get treatment.

As the tests did not reveal any problems, the influencer had to undergo exploratory surgery. The infection was detected during the surgery, but it was already at a very advanced stage.

The influencer suffered a septic shock the next day and was treated with aggressive medications to try to combat the infection. However, Laleska was unable to resist the infection and passed away on Wednesday, February 5, according to CNN.

Laleska was well-known in Brazil for her fashion projects. Her Instagram account has more than 25,000 followers.

The influencer had also embarked on her own projects. According to the newspaper AS, she was the owner of the clothing brands 'La Vestiaire' and 'La Brand'. In addition to this, she also founded an advertising agency that bore her name.

The Brazilian businesswoman reportedly suffered from what is known as a tubo-ovarian abscess. This is a complex pelvic infection that is associated with untreated infections.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the symptoms of the illness include fever, lower abdominal pain, bleeding, and unusual discharge.

According to the CDC, a tubo-ovarian abscess can be treated with antibiotics, although in more serious cases surgery is required. Sadly, in Alexandre's case, medical help arrived too late and attempts to save her life were unsuccessful.
