Death toll for meningitis cases linked to injections rises to eight NASHVILLE, Tenn (Reuters) - Health officials on Monday reported an additional 14 cases in a fungal meningitis outbreak linked to steroid injections that has now killed eight people and infected 105 in nine states. The widening outbreak has alarmed U.S. health officials and focused attention on regulations of pharmaceutical compounding companies like the one that produced the drugs, the New England Compounding Center Inc in Framingham, Massachusetts. The number of deaths has risen to eight from seven reported on Sunday, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Reporting By Mary Wisniewski and Tim Ghianni
