A glamorous law student died after suffering a severe allergic reaction while undergoing a routine medical procedure.<\/p>\n

Leticia Paul, 22, was getting a contrast-enhanced CT scan at the Alto Valle Regional Hospital in Rio du Sul, Brazil<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday when she went into anaphylactic shock, local outlets reported.<\/p>\n

The severe reaction came from the fluid that is injected into the body before a scan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The law student was immediately intubated at the hospital, but she died less than 24 hours after the procedure, her aunt Sandra Paul told G1.<\/a><\/p>\n

The aunt explained that her niece had a history of kidney stones and underwent the CT scan, which uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sections of the body.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paul had recently earned a law degree from Colegio Sinodal Ruy Barbosa and was pursuing post graduate studies in Law and Real Estate,\u00a0according to Oeste SC Noticias.<\/a><\/p>\n

‘We express our solidarity with her family and friends, wishing them comfort and strength in this time of grief,’ her alma mater said.<\/p>\n

In a statement following Paul’s untimely death, the Alto Vale Regional Hospital said it ‘regrets the loss and expresses its solidarity with the family.<\/p>\n

‘We take this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to ethics, transparency and healthcare safety, highlighting that all procedures are conducted in accordance with recommended clinical protocols,’ the hospital said in a translated statement to G1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iodinated contrast is often injected into a vein during such CT scans, MRIs and X-rays to make the organs and tissues more visible.<\/p>\n

The chemical substance is widely used in medicine and is generally considered safe,\u00a0 with severe allergic reactions only occurring in roughly one to 5,000 to one in 10,000 cases.<\/p>\n

Most people will just experience mild symptoms, like warmth, nausea or itching after an IV is injected.<\/p>\n
