Seattle Children's Hospital Shuts Down Operating Rooms for Second Time This Year Due to Mold Infections

By Jason Muriby of Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto, Aziz & Stogner posted in Medical Malpractice on Tuesday, November 26, 2019.

Seattle Children's Hospital shut down all fourteen of its operating rooms earlier this year after Aspergillus mold spores infected six children in its operating rooms, leaving one dead. The hospital re-opened its operating rooms in July, telling the public it was confident the operating rooms were sterile and that the risk to patients was incredibly low. Last week, however, the hospital was once again forced to shut down three of its operating rooms and two procedural areas following new detections of Aspergillus and as the hospital investigates the possibility of two new infections.
