WEDNESDAY, Oct. 23 (HealthDay News) — The tainted steroid injections that caused a deadly meningitis outbreak last year seem to have triggered a broad range of symptoms in patients, according to a new study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Since it began in September 2012, the outbreak of fungal meningitis has sickened 750 people in 20 states, resulting in 64 deaths, based on the latest CDC figures from last month.
