A BOY of five died from a severe reaction to chicken pox after being turned away from a hospital.
Little Fabio Nunes was unable to talk or walk when his worried parents took him to the East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, Surrey.
Yet medical staff there said he was fine and sent him home.
Three days later he was rushed to hospital and died after 12 days.
An inquest said the cause was multi-organ failure.
The rare reaction can occur if there is an immune deficiency.
