UPMC settled with the family of a 47-year-old Erie woman who died during the mold crisis, according to an article on the Trib Live website.
The patient had a heart transplant at UPMC Presbyterian and contracted a fungal infection while hospitalized. She died Oct. 1, 2014.
The Erie woman was treated in the same room of UPMC Presbyterian 's cardiothoracic intensive care unit in which two other heart transplant patients with fungal infections received treatment before dying.
A federal investigation into the problem pointed to a ventilation system in that room as a possible transmission mode.
