Rotunda closed neonatal ICU due to infection risk

One of Ireland's busiest maternity hospitals had to close its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for two days because of the risk of infection.

The Medical Independent (MI) has reported that the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin was closed for two days in August last year after a potential outbreak of ESBL Klebsiella in some babies was identified by staff during a routine screening programme.
