Contaminated eyedrops claim fourth victim in outbreak.

TL;DR Summary
The death toll from contaminated eyedrops has reached four, with 81 people infected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The eyedrops were recalled in February after being linked to multiple infections from a rare strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is resistant to standard antibiotics. Patients who used the drops developed ulcers over their corneas, which leaked yellow-colored discharge before ultimately becoming blinded. Several people who have been infected from the drops are suing Global Pharma, the India-based manufacturer where the bacterial outbreak originated.
