- CDC Suggests Threat of Mold-Associated Illnesses May Be Underappreciated
A first-of-its-kind U.S. study by the CDC suggests invasive mold infections may be an underappreciated and potentially deadly threat. The study detected approximately 450 cases in Atlanta-area hospitals over five years, with about a third of cases likely associated with severe outcomes.
- Study suggests the threat of mold-associated illnesses may be underappreciated
A U.S. study published by the CDC highlights that invasive mold infections may be a growing, underappreciated health threat, with 450 cases identified in Atlanta-area hospitals over five years and a 33% inpatient mortality rate. Researchers link the rise to climate change-driven disasters and a vulnerable population of immunocompromised individuals, including elderly and post-COVID-19 patients.
