Michigan - Outbreak of fungal meningitis and associated infections - 241 cases and 12 deaths

Re: Michigan - Outbreak of fungal meningitis - 164 cases and 8 deaths

Re: Michigan - Outbreak of fungal meningitis - 164 cases and 8 deaths

The MI and IN counts are getting confusing. One of the problems is that the IN Dept. of Health doesn't provide any kind of listing of cases or deaths. Even the announcements that they make to the media aren't available online. The latest information I can find shows IN with 6 deaths, the latest being from out-of-state, presumably MI. There's been no mention of any additional deaths.

Hopefully, when the CDC does an update on Monday, there will be some clarification and we can adjust the thread titles to show an accurate count.

This is the latest statement from the MI Dept. of Community Health:
