Stunning model ravaged by ultra-rare allergic reaction to medicine prescribed by hospital
A Thai model's face and body were covered in rashes and blisters after medics three times gave her antibiotics she was allergic to.
Sasinan Chuenlosang, 31, used to love posing in her swimwear showing off her curves but she started having red eyes and visited the Paolo Hospital Kaset in Bangkok, Thailand, on June 18.
The social media beauty had bloodshot eyes and doctors diagnosed her with tonsilitis as she said her throat was sore.
Medics at the private hospital administered Ceftriaxone, an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, before being discharged.
However, the model returned to the hospital three days later on June 21 as she experienced chest tightness, a body rash and a swollen mouth. She was also suffering from blurred vision and was unable to walk properly.
The second time she met with medics, Sasinan was given another dose of the same medicine and was diagnosed with chicken pox.
Sasinan said her condition worsened with an increase in a rash that caused blindness in her left eye.
After the reaction to the medicine, she was sent to the ICU, where the medics gave her a third shot of Ceftriaxone.
Sasinan said she felt dizzy, and her right eye became blurry and numb. She stayed in the ICU for seven days.
The model was later transferred to Phyathai Phaholyothin Hospital, where she was diagnosed with severe level ten Stevens-Johnson syndrome, usually caused by adverse reactions to antibiotics.
Footage shows Sasinan before her health ordeal, posing for the camera while travelling with friends.
Sasinan was still bedridden on September 16 and has had to cut her long hair to let her rashes heal.
She has wounds around her eyes, forehead, cheeks, and mouth, while her neck is covered in gauze to seep the blood and pus that trickled down her face.
Speaking today, Sasinan said: 'The pain was so bad that I really felt like I was going to die. It was intense. My entire body was burning and sore. There are no words strong enough to describe how it felt.
'Before this, I was employed at an IT company and I was online model in my spare time. Like most girls my age, I spent time and money on health products taking care of my appearance.
‘This condition has shattered my dreams. It's destroyed the life I had before.
‘The hospital would not listen to my complaints. They are so powerful, so I contacted a charity to help with my case.'
Sasinan was hospitalised for a month and a half before being transferred back to the hospital that gave her the first dose of the antibiotic.
Her ordeal was picked up by Good Samaritan Ekapop Luengprasert, a lawyer from the Sai Mai District Must Survive organisation.
The team are now pushing for the hospital to accept responsibility and pay compensation to their alleged victim.
Ekapop said: ‘Despite everything that happened to Sasinan, she did not want to press charges or seek compensation. She only wanted to find an opthalmologist to help her restore her vision and return to work.'
Minister of Public Health Assistant Thanakrit Jitareerat said that the government is now investigating.
He said: ‘We accepted the plea to investigate whether the medicine was up to standard and if the treatment adhered to medical practices.'
The health ministry assistant said that he would review Sasinan's medical history and treatment to explore options for compensation.
While medics at the Phra Nang Klao Hospital - the same outfit that allegedly caused the issue - will examine the model's retina to determine if recovery is possible.
Dr Janjira Kaewsamrit from Phra Nang Klao Hospital said: ‘Stevens-Johnson syndrome can result from drug allergies, viruses, or cancer.
‘It will be necessary to identify the cause, and the Ministry of Public Health will ensure she receives the best care.'
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a rare, severe skin and mucous membranes disorder.
It usually starts with flu-like symptoms, followed by a painful rash that spreads and blisters, causing the top layer of skin to die and peel off. It is often triggered by medications, infections, or other unknown causes.
