Microbiologist at Savita inquest: 'Patients have different outcomes…We don't always know why'

A microbiologist has said it would be of concern to her that a blood sample from Savita Halappanavar took more than three hours to reach the laboratory for testing.

However, consultant Deirbhile Keady today told the 31-year-old's inquest that the right antibiotics were administered even before the results showing the presence of infection became known.
