They were called by Dr. Herman N. Bundesen. president of the board of health. He said the board wanted "to enlist the best brains of ihe Chicago medical profession to combat infection." Autopsies upon two of the babies provided clues which medical authorities hoped would lead to identification of the disease.

Experiments were being conducted to determine whether it is caused by bacteria or virus.

Blood transfusions, saline injections and oxygen were administered to eight infants who remained under treatment at the hospital.
