Inj. Amikacin sulphate in newborns have been published,
simultaneous affection of multiple babies is rare. In this

intensive care setup presenting with Adverse Drug Reaction
(ADR) to Inj. Amikacin sulphate. It can cause life threatening
adverse effects and neonates are particularly vulnerable to
ADR.
