    (Sri Lanka Medical Association, 1997) Karunasekera, K.A.W.; Jayawardena, D.R.K.C.; Sunil-Chandra, N.P.

The Special Care Baby Unit, University Paediatric Unit of the Colombo North Teaching Hospital, Ragama experienced two out breaks of Klesbiella, between February and May 1996. Suspects the transmission of Klesbiella would have occurred as a result of contamination of intravenous fluid.
