The girl was taken to the hospital at Zhengzhou University where it was determined that she had a rare complication of pneumonia known as Pyopneumotorax.
Extensive treatment was started, but everything they tried failed. It was decidced that she might benefit from an open-chest surgerical procedure.
The surgery produced a result that no one imagined. Surgeons found a 3cm piece of grass growing in her right lung.
Doctors don't know how such a thing happened. They have never seen it before. They suggest that perhaps she inhaled some grass seed while outdoors at their home and the seed found her lungs to be a good place to grow.
The grass was removed. The girl has recovered.
