Meningitis cases climb as outbreak worsens

Meningitis tied to a contaminated steroid has affected 205 people in a worsening outbreak that has killed 15 people in the United States.

Almost 14,000 people in 23 states may have received contaminated doses of the steroid — typically injected into the spine to treat back pain — from the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts, which has since shut down its operations and recalled all of its products.
