WARSAW — A sixth baby given injections for the treatment of jaundice died in Wloclawek Hospital in central Poland, the official news agency PAP reported Thursday.
It said the public prosecutor’s office, which is investigating the deaths, had found “glaring irregularities” in the use of medicine in the children’s ward.
The six who died were among 11 newly born infants injected with a solution of glucose and albumin. PAP said two of them probably suffered from birth defects.
