Mold Infections Are More Common Than Thought | Ottawa News
Description
New CDC research reveals invasive mold infections may be far more common than previously thought, with 3 to 5 cases per 100 hospital beds annually—especially threatening to immunocompromised patients like cancer survivors and the elderly.

This localized study offers the first concrete hospital-level data, challenging old estimates and urging nationwide research to track this growing health threat.
