Meningitis Outbreak Kills Seven

Pharmacy voluntarily recalls all products, two deaths in D.C. region

Seven deaths -- including one in Maryland and Virginia -- are linked to a meningitis outbreak, according the Centers for Disease Control.

The pharmacy that distributed a contaminated steroid is now voluntarily recalling all of its products.
           
The New England Compounding Center said the move is just a precaution. There is no indication any other products were contaminated.
 
The CDC reported 91 cases of fungal meningitis in 9 states connected to the Massachusetts health facility.
 
The patients were all treated with contaminated steroids for back pain.
