They have been chosen and will soon be entrusted with the task of analyzing each case of citrobacter koseri infection that occurred in the Women’s and Child’s Hospital in Borgo Trento between 2018 and 2020. As reported by Camilla Ferro on The Arena, the Verona Public Prosecutor has composed the team of experts who will assist in the investigation into the “citrobacter case”. An investigation that currently sees managers and doctors at the center under investigation for the crimes of manslaughter and serious and very serious negligent injuries in the health sector.
Deaths and injuries that were caused by a bacterium, citrobacter koseri, which for about two years was present in a very delicate area of the hospital in Verona, the pediatric intensive care. It would have infected 89 newborns, according to the conclusions of the inspection ordered by the Veneto Region. The bacterium would nest in a tap and through the water it would. Four are those who have been killed by the bacterium, while others have suffered irreversible injuries.
There are four professionals chosen by the Public Prosecutor’s Office to obtain an expert opinion capable of identifying individual responsibilities. I am a medical examiner, neonatologist, microbiologist and medical director. They will all work together to provide solid elements on which to build any allegations against individual suspects in view of the future trial.
