A 1-year-old child has beaten the CCP virus despite being born prematurely with a congenital heart defect and chronic lung disease. The baby girl is among the youngest patients in Britain to recover from the deadly virus.
Leah Peters was born prematurely in Lincolnshire, England, at just 32 weeks and five days. During her young life, she has been in and out of the hospital for various treatments and operations for months, reports the Daily Mail, owing to her underlying health conditions.
