The clinical picture of the three-month-old baby hospitalized in very serious conditions at the Santobono hospital in Naples is very worrying.
He is hospitalized in intensive care not only because he tested positive for cocaine; doctors have also discovered that he is suffering from a serious form of meningitis.
This is what the doctors at the pediatric hospital where the little boy was admitted found, coming from the Ruggi d'Aragona hospital in Salerno.
The child had already arrived in serious condition in Salerno yesterday, where doctors at the Ruggi Hospital intervened, restoring his vital signs and confirming a positive drug test in his urine. His condition then worsened and he was transferred by air ambulance to Napoli.
The mother appears to be a drug user. Therefore, the possibility of transmission through breastfeeding cannot be ruled out. The case has been reported to the State Police, who are working to reconstruct what happened.
