A second case of fungal meningitis has been reported in Jersey. On Tuesday, health officials reported the first case in the Garden State linked to the national outbreak associated with steroid injections. Health Commissioner Mary E. Dowd says that nearly all of the 650 Jersey residents who received contaminated injections have been contacted. More than 120 cases of fungal meningitis have been linked back to the injections. Both cases in Jersey were in Cumberland County. [Newsworks]
