Urgent warning after two Americans die from fungal brain infection linked to cheap plastic surgeries in Mexico
But it urged anyone who had booked a procedure involving an epidural injection of an anesthetic in Matamoros, Mexico, to cancel it "until there is evidence that there is no longer a risk for infection at these clinics".
The CDC first received word of the outbreak on May 8 after Texas state officials were notified of two female patients hospitalized in Texas with symptoms consistent with meningitis - headache, fever, photophobia, stiff neck - that began approximately two to four weeks after receiving cosmetic procedures at the River Side Surgical Center.
In that outbreak, epidural anesthesia was linked to at least 80 cases of fungal meningitis, 39 of which were fatal.Laboratory testing linked the meningitis cases to a specific fungal pathogen: Fusarium solani, but health officials have not yet linked a specipic pathogen to this newest outbreak in Matamoros.
