Fighting acne on the tip of his nose caused a brain disease in a 19-year-old girl.
According to the Daily Mail, the incident took place in the Chinese province of Zhejiang.
After squeezing the acne, the girl's right eye began to ache. A few days later, he developed a fever and swollen eyes.
The young girl was taken to hospital in critical condition with a temperature of 39 degrees and the first signs of meningitis.
It turned out that he had a cavernous sinus thrombosis in the space behind the eye socket.
The source of infection can be teeth, ears, nose or sinuses. It is possible that the infection was transmitted through compressed acne during the incident. One in three patients with cavernous sinus thrombosis dies.
The girl was prescribed a course of antibiotics. His condition is stable, but he is being treated at a hospital.
