省卫生健康委相关负责人表示，事件发生后，我省迅速成立事件调查组和专家工作组，认真查找原因，采取有效措施，妥善做好患儿诊疗及相关善后工作。经流行病学调查、临床病例分析、医院感染调查分析和病原学检测，现已查明，这是一起由肠道病毒（埃可病毒11型）引起的医院感染事件，5例患有新生儿肺炎等基础疾病的患儿死亡，13例感染病例已治愈出院，1例仍在院治疗，病情稳定。经全面排查，相关收治医院未发现新的感染病例。

据调查，该事件是由于医院管理工作松懈，医院感染防控规章制度不健全、不落实，新生儿科医院感染监测缺失，未按规定报告医院感染等问题造成的一起严重医疗事故。

婴儿在医院感染致死？是怎么回事？一起来回顾一下我们之前的报道：

这件事情的缘起来自一位网友的爆料。

一名网友称自己刚出生的宝宝在医院死亡。

他曝出：公立三甲医院疑似发生爆发性感染，3名新生儿陆续死亡，90名患儿转院，并被隔离。

然而，爆料人随后删帖。网友怀疑：是他受到了什么压力？爆料人对此澄清，称诉求获回应，“现静待监管部门以及医院给予一个公开、合理、可信的调查结果”。

Health authorities in South China's Guangdong Province are investigating after three newborns died in a top hospital, allegedly after being infected with a virus. 

网传三名新生儿因感染院内病毒死亡，广东省卫生行政部门正在开展调查。

An official from Shunde Hospital of Southern Medical University in Foshan, Guangdong told the Global Times on Thursday that experts from provincial and municipal health bureaus had arrived to look into the deaths. 

位于广东佛山的南方医科大学顺德医院医务科的一名工作人员本周四告诉Global Times记者，省市的卫生健康局都已经入驻医院，探查这起死亡事件。

The incident came to public attention after a netizen, who said he was the father of one of the newborns, disclosed on social media that a few days after his baby was born, the child was infected with a strain of enterovirus, which can cause a range of symptoms from the mild to the more serious.  

这次调查的起因，还得从近日一位网友的爆料说起。一名自称死去的新生儿的父亲，发表微信文章称，他的宝宝刚出生没多久就疑似受到院内交叉感染，染上肠道病毒。肠道病毒感染表现出来的症状一般轻重不一。

The post on WeChat, under the user name wuchangqi, said his baby died because of internal bleeding, brain hemorrhage and multiple organ failure. The post alleged that two other newborns had died with similar symptoms in the past month, and suggested that they were all infected at the hospital.  

该网友以用户名“吴昌奇”发布了这篇爆料贴。文中写道，他的宝宝因病毒感染致严重凝血功能异常、颅内严重出血、多脏器衰竭而死亡。而且，还有两名新生儿在过去的一个月里也因相似症状死亡，并暗指罪魁祸首就是顺德医院。

"Many newborns were transferred to other hospitals after infection, they showed various degree of illness," said wuchangqi.

“众多新生儿因感染被迫转院，病情轻重不一。” “吴昌奇”写道。

同时，“吴”还爆料：顺德医院短期内转走所有约90名新生儿，并对外称装修升级（家长目击）。

The post called on the hospital to publicly reveal how many babies were infected and whether the hospital was the source of the virus.

“吴”要求顺德医院向公众公开此次事件的真相，包括是否发生院内感染、感染原因、感染源、死亡和患病新生儿人数等。

A vice director of the medical department at Shunde Hospital, surnamed Liang, told the Global Times on Thursday that three babies had died, but on different days and that their symptoms were different. 

顺德医院医务科的梁姓副主任告诉记者，确认有三名婴儿死亡，但他们并不是同一天死亡，而且患病的症状也不一样。

After the post circulated online and caused a public outcry, the hospital announced Wednesday on its website that they felt deep regret and sadness about the tragic death of the newborns. It vowed to actively cooperate with the investigations. 

由于这篇文章迅速在网上传播开来（微信上的阅读量“十万+”），公众群起声讨，南方医科大学顺德医院本周三在官网上发布声明，称“对于新生儿的不幸死亡，我院甚感惋惜和痛心！”医院表示会积极配合调查。

Foshan health bureau announced on Thursday on its website that they would direct the treatment and infection prevention on babies, and would supervise and investigate the case.

佛山市卫生健康局于本周四也发布公告，表明会同省专家组对事件进行全面调查，监督和指导顺德区做好患儿救治和感染防控工作，依法依规进行监督处理。
