Cause of deadly Sydney hospital fungus outbreak revealed

The mold that entered the transplant unit of a Sydney hospital, killing two people and seriously infecting four more, likely entered from a balcony opposite construction work.

The final report into the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital’s deadly fungal outbreak was published on Friday, revealing the fourth person to become seriously ill remains in intensive care four months later.

Sydney Local Health District said it was giving affected families the chance to discuss the findings with doctors and hospital management.
