Little Stuart Mather, who was born at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee has caught the deadly superbug MRSA.
Tiny Stuart needed an operation days after his birth, and had to be isolated for four days in an infection control unit in Dundee.
The first sign of trouble came when a nurse noticed that one of his eyes was watery.
Medics took a swab to test for infection. And a week later, Sam and David got the news that their son had MRSA.
Stuart's furious dad, said last night: “the least we deserve is an apology they should at least admit liability, but they won't want to do that”.
Bosses at Ninewells refused to comment on Stuart's case. A spokeswoman for NHS Tayside would only say: “We can confirm it is possible for a young baby to contract MRSA”.
