Twenty eight women undergoing treatment at Bhabha Hospital started complaining of uneasiness, giddiness and started vomiting late on Monday night, minutes after being administered injections. Of the 28 patients, 13 were rushed to Sion Hospital, and the remaining 15 were taken to KEM Hospital for treatment.
Doctors at Bhabha Hospital said that the injection given to the patients contained routine antibiotics. “It’s surprising that these patients experienced issues, as we had injected them with the same antibiotic twice, earlier in the day, as per the dosage,” said a doctor from Bhabha Hospital, on condition of anonymity.

Each of the 28 patients were given the injections around 9.30 pm, after which their symptoms were noticed. Saira Sheikh (42), one of the patients brought to KEM Hospital, had to be shifted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU), after her blood pressure dropped.
Misba Shaikh, her relative, said, “Saira was admitted to Bhabha Hospital on Saturday as she was suffering from typhoid. She was given an antibiotic injection that caused her health to deteriorate, and now she has ended up in the ICU. Her tongue had turned blue and her blood pressure dropped.”
