Abstract
In September, an outbreak of fungal meningitis due to contaminated steroid injections prepared by the New England Compounding Center (NECC) began in Tennessee. When this issue of Pharmacy Today went to press, 268 cases of this rare and potentially fatal—albeit noncontagious— disease had been reported in 16 states; 21 patients had reportedly died. This contamination has been described as "unprecedented" in a New England Journal of Medicine review.
