The remaining 15 infants (Group B) were treated with parenteral ampicillin and chloramphenicol/ampicillin and amikacin (in neonates) in therapeutic dosage. Malnutrition and dehydration were treated with parenteral solutions (including plasma and/or blood)' as per standard practices of the Institute. Antibiotherapy was resorted to all the cases after drawing blood, stool, urine, CSF and other samples as appropriate for pathological and bacteriological examinations.
