The culprit wasn't the hospital's carelessness, but the disease and perhaps subsequent treatments which left their immune systems very compromised.<br /><br />There are myriad airborne diseases assailing all of us all of the time. Only these patients with a particularly compromised immune system succumbed to a fungal growth. Especially given the humidity levels and such in that area, it seems highly unlikely that the hospital can be shown to have been at fault or negligent. The only other possible option is not realistic or practical, which would be to purify (not just filter) their air entirely via some means, and keep them in a bubble. That's contraindicated as well.<br /><br />Like any loss, this is sad, but I don't see the malpractice. In this case, it seems precautions WERE taken.
