that looked pretty good, who an hour when I went
.when I saw him in the hospital.. .went from
kind of feverish and sick looking to looking like
her.
Det. Sudler:, Okay.
Minkoff:
• Okay. They could have plague. They could have
hemophilus influenza. There’s a number of different
bacterial things or like these African. . . these weird
sort of viruses. . .they can do it. And it can be
like BOOM.
Det.
Sudler:
Okay. How would you con. .contract this virus?
Is.. .is it something that’s.. .you know.. .airborne
or. • .or can your body produce this itself?.
Minkoff:
Well, depends what it is. Like. . .like. . .like this
staphylococcus that she had. All of us has probably
in our noses.. .under our fingernails. . .and for whatever
reason, occasionally some people will get a. . .an
invasive infection. They might get boils or furuncles
•
.. .you know. Uh.. . or they might get a bone infection.
Or in rare cases, they might get this kind of sepsis.
Or I think the way that you put together this thing
with her is that she’s got a blood clot in her leg...
it’s sub-clinical, which means the leg’s not swollen
• .. .she’s not complaining about her leg but there’s
a clot in there. So now you’ve got blood that’s
•
• not moving.. .that’s there.. .and for whatever reason
how the staph in one person versus another person
gets in or not, we don’t know. 11mm. . .you know...
• • •
unless she had some underlying disease. . .you know...
 did she have AIDS.. .did she, have some. immune
deficiency.. .did she have something like this...
which I have no idea. . .umm. . .which would. . .you
