Grieving Indiana mother warns parents after 8-year-old son dies from deadly bacteria

  • An Indiana mother from Lowell warns parents after her 8-year-old son Liam died within hours from a deadly bacterial infection in April.
  • The infection was caused by invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b , which Liam likely contracted from an unvaccinated person despite being vaccinated himself.
  • Liam came home with a headache, became delirious, and doctors found bacteria covering his brain and spinal cord, but treatment was unsuccessful.
  • Ashlee Dahlberg explained that this aggressive form of Hib is almost always fatal within a day, and described the agony of losing Liam as beyond words after doctors informed them there was no further treatment possible.
  • This case highlights the increased risk of Hib as vaccination rates decline, leading Dahlberg to strongly encourage parents to ensure their children are fully immunized to avoid irreversible consequences.
