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. 
| 
 
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
