The Food and Drug Administration is investigating the New England Compounding Company, who is responsible for distributing the contaminated steroids linked to the fungal meningitis outbreak. They believe that maybe two drugs are connected to the outbreak, the steroids methylprednisolone and triamcinolone. The patients with the fungal meningitis had received injected steroids for back pain that contained a fungus. . The fungus that is being found in most of the vials is mold, or Exserohilum rostratum.
