An unfortunate 80-year-old woman fought for her life for an entire week after being injured by a goat in Lamia. According to a report by lamianow.gr, she did not die from her injuries but from a severe infection caused by a pyogenic streptococcus bacterium, which infected her. This is a rare complication, with another death from the same cause reported in the local community a year ago.
