Rare, Aggressive Fungus Strikes Joplin Tornado Victims

Rare, Aggressive Fungus Strikes Joplin Tornado Victims




JOPLIN, Mo. (KMOX/AP) - A Joplin doctor said Thursday his hospital treated five Joplin tornado victims for a rare, aggressive fungal infection sometimes found in survivors of other natural disasters.
Dr. Uwe Schmidt, an infectious disease specialist at Freeman Health System in Joplin, said three of those patients who contracted zygomycosis have since died, but he stopped short of blaming their deaths specifically on the infections.
