Aspergillus Mold Outbreak at Sydney Hospital: A Deadly Consequence of Construction - A cluster of fungal infections at Sydneys Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, caused by Aspergillus mold, resulted in two deaths and serious illness for four others. The mold was traced back to a balcony above the hospitals redevelopment site, where construction work disturbed the mold and sent airborne spores towards vulnerable patients. Environmental tests and cleaning checks failed to meet hospital standards, contributing to the outbreak. The case highlights wider hospital upkeep issues and calls for faster action to safeguard patients.
