Fatal Fungus (2x7)

Air date: Nov 20, 1997

An infant was rushed to a Cleveland emergency room with serious breathing problems. The baby’s lungs were bleeding, a life threatening, extremely rare condition. Within months, there were more than 30 cases – an incidence more than a thousand times higher than anywhere else in the world. Doctors had never seen anything like it, and searched frantically for the cause and a cure. AKA Medical Detectives, Season 2, Episode 7.
