Penicillin Baby little Patty Malone

A published report says that two and a half year old Patty Malone died a few weeks after first receiving some history-changing penicillin in an Manhattan hospital on August 11th 1943.

However I found a photo showing her leaving hospital looking great 6 weeks later.

Today I came across a partial record for a two year old named Patricia Malone who did die in December 21st 1943 in a Manhattan hospital, ie possibly Patty's life was only prolonged for 4 1/2 more months.

It could be our penicillin baby- I checking it out - if so , a very unhappy ending for her two parents and bigger sister ....
