"Deadly Fungal Meningitis Outbreak at Mexican Cosmetic Surgery Clinics Claims 7 Lives"

The death toll from a fungal meningitis outbreak in Matamoros has risen to seven, with nine confirmed cases, 10 probable cases, and 15 suspected cases. The outbreak is linked to procedures under epidural anesthesia at two clinics, which have since been closed. The CDC warns that those who had procedures at the clinics between January 1 and May 13 are at risk and should seek immediate medical attention if experiencing symptoms. Treatment should be started promptly to increase the chances of survival.
