What ever happened to IBCLCs promoting EXCLUSIVE bf for the first 6
months of life?
Catherine Watson Genna, IBCLC NYC
Pseudomonas aeruginosa septic shock secondary to "Gripe Water" ingestion.
BRIEF REPORTS
Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal. 23(2):176-177, February 2004.
Sas, David D.O., M.P.H.; Enrione, Maria A. M.D.; Schwartz, Richard H. M.D.
Abstract:
We report the case of a 9-month-old girl who presented in septic shock
after ingestion of a contaminated herbal supplement commonly used to
treat colic. Herbal supplements are widely used by well-meaning parents
for many common conditions. Pediatricians should be aware that the
variable manufacturing and packaging conditions of herbal supplements
can lead to contamination with infectious agents.
