A young Australian woman has been placed in a medically induced coma and has been evacuated from Indonesia after becoming unwell.
Julia Barresi experienced an impactful seizure while holidaying in Bali on July 1 following days of feeling unwell.
The 19-year-old's condition rapidly deteriorated while she was being treated by doctors at a Balinese hospital.
"Julia experienced an impactful seizure in Bali after being unwell for a few days.
"Causing Julia to have this seizure was her dangerously low sodium levels, due to her being so unwell," Stephanie Michielin, who created a GoFundMe page said.
"This has unfortunately placed her in a critical state in the ICU ward of a Balinese hospital. We would love Julia to be able to be treated where all her friends and family are so she can receive as much care and support as possible."
It's understood Barresi was medically evacuated to Melbourne, where she is currently being treated.
"Now the hard work begins. Every day is unknown and your continued support is very much appreciated," Michielin said.
A fundraiser has generated $80,000 in donations for Julia, with Michielin saying the flight could cost the family $170,000 alone.
