Coroner rules baby, 36 hours, was youngest victim of MRSA - Guardian

Extract:

"A baby is believed to be the youngest ever victim of the MRSA bug, after contracting the virus and dying at 36 hours old, a coroner concluded yesterday.

Luke Day, of Woodbridge in Suffolk, died in February 2005, but might have been saved had hospital staff recognised signs of his illness, an internal inquiry found. Doctors at the Ipswich hospital had not properly co-ordinated his care, the inquest heard. He should have been tested for infections when his temperature and blood sugar were found to be low, and he was "lethargic and slightly floppy"."
