University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is being sued again by the family of a patient who died of a mold infection, according to an article on the Post-Gazzette website.
The case is the seventh involving patients who died after contracting mold infections at UPMC hospitals between October 2014 and October 2016.
The lawsuit alleges that what links all seven cases at the three hospitals are the linens washed at the Dubois facility of Paris Cleaners.
The lawsuit relies on an internal UPMC investigation that found mold — similar to what the patients contracted — at the Paris Cleaners facility Feb. 1 and Feb. 2, 2016, the article said.
