Latur (Maharastra), Nov 6: In a case of medical negligence at its worst, the dead body of a 13-year-old girl, who died of HIV infection, was left to be eaten by animals at the local Primary Health Centre (PHC).
The orphan girl, who suffered from the disease for the last four years, died during the week. Her body was kept for post-mortem in a health centre at Hasegaon village.
On Thursday, Nov 6, the girl's body was found with her leg eaten off by animals.

Baptle told a news agency that the girl died on Wednesday, Nov 3 evening, after which her body was kept in a room at the PHC, covered with a shawl overnight. Next day, the girl's left leg was found missing.
Speculating that the leg of the girl seemed to have been eaten up by an animal, probably a dog, the [District Health Officer] has vowed to initiate action against other guilty employees.
