Administration of gentamicin to the patient intramuscularly for 14 days and ampicillin intravenously after sensitivity test had indicated their use; Role played by premature rupture of the membrane and urinary tract infection in the development of the disease; Contamination traced to a nurse who was literally abusing the hexachlorophene by forcefully rubbing the umbilicus of newborn infants with it.
