A SUPERFIT Royal Marine collapsed and died within days of scratching his leg on
a bush while on a training run - victim of a mutated superbug one doctor
described as the worst she had ever seen.

Cases of the toxin have been reported in America, France, Australia and the Far
East andDr Morgan described the staphylococcus infection as the worst she had
encountered.

The recruits had spent the week on a rigorous training programme and Mr
Campbell-Smith had scratched his legs on gorse bushes while running on Woodbury
Common on October 31 last year.

A post-mortem examination revealed that he had cardiac and respiratory failure.
Dr Morgan said that victims of the superbug were unable to resist it, no matter
how fit they were.

The infection spread to Mr Campbell-Smith's lungs, causing pneumonia which is
fatal in three out of four cases. Dr Morgan said: "PVL is an horrendous
toxin because it kills white blood cells so they can't kill the bug.

"It is the worst bug I have ever seen and people really need to know about
it. It is untreatable. It multiplies very quickly. One bug will multiply into
17 million within 24 hours. Usually signs include pneumonia, coughing up blood
and very high temperatures, but not everyone will look for it."
