A twenty-fourth person has died of fungal meningitis, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday. An Indiana resident died from the outbreak tied to contaminated steroid injections from the New England Compounding Center. As of Oct. 24, there are 317 reported infections tied to the outbreak in 17 states. The previous day there had been 308 infections including 23 deaths. The current count mostly includes patients with fungal meningitis who received methylprednisolone acetate steroid injections -- many for back pain -- but five cases are peripheral joint infections from those who received the shots in areas such as the knee, hip, shoulder or elbow. No deaths have been associated with peripheral joint infections.
