In a grim health story, a patient remains in intensive care four months after a deadly fungal outbreak at a prestigious Sydney hospital. Authorities have now identified the most likely source of the cluster, which caused the deaths of two patients.

The case raises ongoing questions about infection control and infrastructure maintenance in Australia’s hospital system.
