Seven patients died, one directly of septicaemia, despite intensive antimicrobial therapy. Investigation revealed that the sources of infection were special mouth wash solution, distilled water and normal saline used in the ward. After changing to uncontaminated solution and more meticulous care of medical equipment, there was no evidence of the micro-organism after one year follow-up.
