Concerns Over Meningitis Outbreak Remain as Death Toll Continues to Rise
New cases of fungal meningitis related to the NECC's tainted steroid injection continue to be reported, as federal regulators warn recovering victims that they could face a risk of relapse.
Although federal health regulators originally predicted that the number of illnesses related to the deadly fungal meningitis outbreak would level off late last year, the number of deaths caused by the contaminated steroid injection continues to rise, and new research suggests that new meningitis cases could continue to appear for as long as a year after the nationwide crisis first began.
