A 49-year-old Thane resident was successfully treated for a rare life-threatening bacterial breast infection and returned home. 

Flavy Rebeiro first noticed a painful swelling on the left side of her breast in April. “Her blood sugar levels also shot up. We took her to a local hospital where she underwent her first surgery in May,” said Fredrick, her husband. Though the surgery drained out the abscess, the infection persisted and spread.
