Girl dies of intravenous infusion in Guangzhou clinic

A 10-year-old girl allegedly died of intravenous infusion of expired medicine in a neighborhood clinic in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province on Sunday, a local newspaper reported today.

Guangzhou Daily said the girl surnamed Song was brought to the clinic to treat her flu. She felt dull chest pains during an intravenous drip and the doctor said the symptom was normal.

Song's father saw her face was turning purple and checked the infusion bottle which showed the expiration date was 2011. He stopped the infusion immediately and brought his daughter to another hospital where Song died despite emergency treatment.

Her family said the four bottles of medicine prescribed for Song all contained potassium chloride. An overdose of this chemical compound is lethal.

Police began to probe into the girl's death and the clinic has been closed, the paper said.
