GREENVILLE, SC — The condition of Lana Kuykendall, the South Carolina woman infected with “flesh-eating” bacteria shortly after giving birth to twins nearly two months ago, is improving, her doctor said.
“Her leg wounds are healing well, and she’s making excellent headway on therapy,” said Dr. Kevin Kopera, medical director for Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital in Greenville.
The recovery for such infections typically requires four to six weeks of inpatient rehabilitation, followed by weeks of outpatient rehabilitation, he said.
