With more fungal meningitis cases reported, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was important for people who had injections for back pain to come forward.
" Doctors urged anyone who had a spinal injection for pain in the last few months to contact a doctor if they became ill, particularly with symptoms that include a new or worsening headache, fever, stiff neck, sensitivity to light, nausea, slurred speech or loss of balance. The medical name for the injections is a lumbar epidural steroid injection."
