6-month-old baby Hunter Martin died after receiving 10x recommended antibiotic dosage; NHS trust admitted care failings.
An NHS trust admitted failings in the care of baby Hunter Martin, who died at six months old after contracting chicken pox. The inquest at Chesterfield Coroners Court heard that Hunter was given 10 times the recommended dosage of antibiotics, which may have contributed to his death. His parents' concerns were not taken seriously, leaving them devastated. The jury is still investigating the impact of the over-administration of the Clyndamycin antibiotic on Hunter's death.
