17 children battling cancer at Ste-e hospital have been

relocated to a different ward because of a fungus in the ventilation

system.

Hospital officials discovered the problem in this particular oncology

ward during routine testing and proceeded to clean the ducts, but

further testing showed little improvement, forcing the relocation.

A hospital spokesperson says the fungus is no danger to anyone with

the proper antibodies, but these young patients have very fragile

immune systems and doctors didn't want to take any chances.
