2022: Infant death after taking a doctor-prescribed sedative pill
At the end of November 2022, in Irkutsk, the baby died after taking the medicine prescribed to him by a doctor at a children's clinic.
A four-month-old child was hospitalized in the city hospital of Irkutsk with signs of drug poisoning on November 28, 2022. It was not possible to save him. It turned out that a few days before hospitalization, the infant's mother gave him half a tablet of a sedative allegedly prescribed by a doctor.
At the same time, it is reported that the first time the baby got sick after vaccination with Pentaxime - the drug was injected into the child on November 24, 2022, all in the same children's clinic. This French vaccine is against childhood diseases: pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, polio and others.
The boy's father clarified the situation with vaccination and sedative. According to him, a neurologist from a private clinic gave the baby a medical diversion from vaccination, since the baby was restless and often capricious. But the pediatrician of the state polyclinic was not satisfied with the piece of paper. She assured that everything was in order with the child. As a result, the boy was given an injection and discharged "Fenibut," which he had already been given once. The instructions for the drug say that the medicine can be given to children from 3 years old.
 | The child was the only one in the family. On this fact, investigators of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Art. 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (causing death by negligence), the course and results of which are under the control of the prosecutor's office, the report says. |  |

Authorized specialists will conduct examinations of medical documents in order to analyze the implementation of procedures and standards when providing medical care to a child in outpatient and inpatient conditions, the ministry added.[1]
