Infant mortality in Turkey - death caused by bacterial infections from IV treatments.

News

Two separate infection control incidents allegedly causes 40 infants in Turkey to die.


Posted on Nov 18, 2008

Two prenatal units in Turkey had 40 newborns die of bacterial infection.

What hospitals are involved? “In July, the Ankara facility became the scene of any parent's hell. A total of 27 newborns died there within two weeks, most of them from infection.

Now Turkey is reeling from a similar tragedy at another hospital, this time in the western city of Izmir, where 13 premature babies died last weekend within 24 hours, apparently from tainted IV treatment.”

What caused the deaths? “A preliminary investigation concluded that the infants died of a bacterial infection spread by IV treatment.”
