MENINGITIS INFECTION MN LAWYER
The Rochlin Law Firm, Ltd. is currently taking cases for people injured in the meningitis outbreak associated with epidural steroid injections for back pain. As reported, the bad steroids were produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). So far, 5 cases of meningitis have been confirmed in Minnesota. In total, more than 200 people have fallen ill and 15 have died in the outbreak nationally.
Unfortunately, hundreds of people in MN had spinal injections with NECC steroids that may have been contaminated with dangerous fungus. The CDC has required spinal taps and other tests to check for infection. However, these tests are painful and expensive. In addition, many of these individuals have also been suffering from the emotional distress of having to wait to see if they contracted meningitis. Meningitis can have serious complications.
Two MN clinics received the NECC steroids:
-MAPS (Medical Advance Pain Clinic) — locations in Eden Prairie, Edina, Shakopee and Maple Grove.
-Minnesota Surgery Centers — in Edina and Maple Grove.
