We failed: Seattle Childrens CEO says 7 older cases linked to Aspergillus mold
The CEO of Seattle Children's Hospital apologized on Monday and said doctors now believe seven older cases, including five deaths, are linked to ongoing mold problems in some surgical rooms. Dr. Jeff Sperring said Monday that between 2001 and 2014 seven patients developed Aspergillus infections. Five of them died, Sperring said. At the time, hospital officials thought that each of the cases was an isolated event. "Looking back, we should have made the connection sooner," Sperring said. "Simply put, we failed."
