Admission stop: intestinal germ infections in children's clinic: premature baby died
In a neonatal intensive care unit, a premature baby dies, and another one falls ill. In the meantime, the clinic was able to identify an intestinal germ as a possible source and stopped admitting new patients.
A premature baby has died from an infection with the Enterobacter bacterium at the St. Louise children's clinic in Paderborn. Four children have tested positive for the bacterium, with two suffering from severe sepsis. The clinic has suspended new admissions as a precaution and expanded its hygiene and protection measures. The hospital is investigating possible sources and transmission routes, with the local health authority involved.
