Over the past three weeks, two newborn girls have contracted Salmonella infections at a Central California hospital.
Authorities are investigating how the infants, treated at Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, were exposed to the bacteria.
“We don’t have an answer yet,” said Dr. John Walker of the Stanislaus County’s Public Health Services. “However, there has been intense investigation.”
One of the victim’s moms suspects that the infant formula given to her daughter in neonatal intensive care may have been contaminated.
A hospital administrator at Doctors told CBS Sacramento that this appears to be an isolated event, not part of a larger outbreak.
