A PAIR of Siamese twins who were separated at the abdomen last month have died, a doctor at Pretoria’s Ga-Rankuwa Hospital said on Thursday. The first twin died on Monday and her sister died on Thursday from a blood and bone infection related to prolonged intravenous feeding, paediatric surgery head Lesek Marciz said. The little girls were joined at the abdomen and had shared bowels. They were separated hours after their birth. “The twins were born with their internal organs exposed and this meant they were vulnerable to infection from the beginning,” Marciz said.
