Meningitis outbreak in Mexico linked to two deaths.

Two people have died in the US from an outbreak of fungal meningitis linked to surgeries in Mexico that involved epidural anesthesia. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned that more than 200 others across 25 states may have also been exposed. The outbreak is linked to two specific clinics in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, just across the border from Brownsville, Texas: River Side Surgical Center and Clinica K-3. The CDC is urging those exposed to seek medical care as soon as possible, even if they do not have any symptoms.
