New Cases, Death Rate Slows in Fungal Meningitis Outbreak

If there's any positive news to be known about the fungal meningitis outbreak, linked to tainted injectable medications manufactured by the New England Compounding Center, NECC, is that at long last the reports of new infections and deaths having occurred are coming in more slowly. A consumer watchdog group, Public Citizen, has written a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration asking it to revisit 16 compounding pharmacies to which the agency had issued warnings from 2003 through 2012, in an effort to prevent any such health tragedies in the future.
