Another case in the fungal meningitis outbreak has been confirmed in Cumberland County, New Jersey. The meningitis is being linked to an injected steroid which was contaminated by a fungus. Patients were receiving epidural injected steroids for back pain. Symptoms such as headache and slurred speech are being reported within just a few weeks of receiving the injection.

The vials came from a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts, New England Compounding Company, who is now recalling all of their products. While under investigation they are also stopping production of all products. Over 17,000 vials were distributed and so far there are over 200 cases and more than 10 deaths reported in various states across the United States.
