Where the steroid pills recalled because of spiral meningitis or was it just the injections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contamination: The compounding pharmacy had apparently placed a product on the market which had been contaminated with aspergillus (a fungus), and patients receiving this developed aspergillus meningitis with many deaths. The pill were recalled because of the contamination.
