Unsterile conditions are blamed for contamination with meningitis

It is widely discussed about the meningitis outbreak that has happened in certain states of America. Contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections led to fungal meningitis in over 500 individuals. The contamination turned out to be fatal for 39 persons: they died. The majority of deaths took place in Tennessee.
It was said that contaminated steroid injections had been produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC) that is based in Massachusetts. The FDA tested the company in order to set what caused contamination and see the situation at the NECC. It was confirmed by the FDA that the contaminated steroid injections were really produced by this company.
The FDA told the Associated Press that it was evident that preparing of preparations was unsterile at the NECC. The FDA claimed that leaking water and uncontrolled temperature were only some problems at the pharmacy. The equipment used for preparing of solution for injections was unsterile.
Moreover, the FDA stated that there were some other contaminants. Several bacterial contaminants were found at the pharmacy. However these contaminants were not real pathogens, they were able to result in infection as well. These bacterial contaminants were found in such drugs, as Betamethasone and Triamcinolone. There were not any situations reported about contamination caused by application of these products. But it was noted that these medicines were also able to cause contamination. Although the bacterial contaminants were anywhere in the environment, they had not to be in medications. This fact pointed at unsterile conditions at the compounding center and affirmed that the Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be contaminated with fungal meningitis because they were manufactured in improper conditions.
The situation made it clear that new laws on compounding pharmacies should be established. Contamination should be prevented. Otherwise, health of Americans is in danger.
