Accidental Feeding of a Dilute Antiseptic Solution (Chlorhexidine 0.05% with Cetrimide 1%) to Five Babies

Neonatal Department, St. Mary's Hospital, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 5TG

Five normal newborn breast fed babies were accidentally fed a dilute antiseptic solution (chlorhexidine 0.05% with cetrimide 1%) in place of sterile water, developing caustic burns of the lips, mouth and tongue within minutes; one baby became quite severely ill due to acute pulmonary oedema, but all survived without sequelae.
