Brazilian Beauty Queen Marian Bridi Da Costa Had Hands And Feet Amputated

Brazilian Miss World contestant Mariana Bridi da Costa has had to have her feet and hands amputated after contracting a urinary infection. The 20-year-old is still in intensive care and on artificial respiration in a Brazilian hospital following her surgery.

Bridi da Costa was diagnosed with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, which can be fatal if left untreated. Her condition was initially misdiagnosed as kidney stones, but the actual urinary infection resulted in circulation being cut off to her extremities. 

God, poor woman. We hope her health improves and that she’s able to deal with the loss, eventually.
