Two patients died after Aspergillus mold linked to hospital construction infected transplant patients at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in late 2025.
Two patients died at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in late 2025 after being infected with Aspergillus mold in the transplant unit, with six patients affected.
Health officials linked the outbreak to ongoing construction during a major redevelopment, suspecting airborne spores were released during building work.
The mold poses serious risks to immunocompromised individuals, such as transplant recipients.
The hospital implemented safety measures, including air filtration upgrades and patient relocation, and the ward was declared safe to reopen in February 2026.
Authorities are investigating the incident and reviewing infection control protocols for hospital renovations.
