Fungal meningitis has been associated with a steroid injection provided by the New England Compounding Center. Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center does not use this supplier of steroid medication.
McDowell does provide steroid injections to patients as a treatment method for certain conditions. Due to the widespread and reasonable concern that has been raised by the number of people contaminated, it is important that patients have the appropriate information and reassurance of safe, effective care, McDowell officials said in a press release.
