Meningitis Cases up to 231

Latest numbers out of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have meningitis cases up to 231.

That number is up nineteen from what it was yesterday.

Good news is that no new deaths have been reported.

The Food and Drug Administration continues to investigate other drugs, produced by New England Compounding Center, for meningitis.

So far it is thought that two more of the drugs were contaminated with the fungal form of the disease.

As many as 14,000 people took the injections known to have been contaminated, it is unclear how many more people could be at risk if other drugs were as well.
