Broncho pneumonia
due to (b) prematurity
due to (c) marasmus

Marasmus is basically malnutrition.

Apologies JenB has already given the info

Bronco Pneumonia
Prematurity

last word ends with 'asmus', so could possibly be Marasmus (undernourishment/malnutrition)
Its likely the baby was too ill to feed properly
