Baby in ICU after wine put in

A four-month-old baby boy was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Giovanni XXIII paediatric hospital in Bari Tuesday following an ethyl coma allegedly caused by drinking wine, after an error in the preparation of a baby bottle when the alcoholic substance was mistakenly used to dilute powdered milk.
    It was the baby's mother who, after realising the mistake, accompanied him to the emergency room of the Perrino Hospital in Brindisi, where the baby was given urgent treatment, including a gastric lavage, and then intubated and transferred to Bari.
    The Brindisi public prosecutor's office was also informed of the case and may acquire medical documentation on the incident in the next few hours.
