Pennsylvania Becomes Fifteenth State With Meningitis

Pennsylvania became the fifteenth state with a confirmed case of meningitis, on Monday.

The number of cases is now 214, with the death toll staying at fifteen.

Massachusetts based New England Compounding Center produced the tainted anti inflammation steroid vials.

Once the outbreak was known of NECC quickly turned in their operation licenses, recalled all of their other products, and assisted investigators in every way possible.

The CDC has now announced that two other drugs made by NECC may have been contaminated with meningitis, as well.

That means that well more than the fourteen thousand, who took the steroid injections, could be at risk of meningitis.
