Betamethasone and Triamcinolone produced by NECC are contaminated

It is widely reported about the meningitis outbreak which has occurred in certain states of America. Contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections resulted in fungal meningitis in more than 500 patients. The contamination turned out to be tragic for 39 patients: they died. The majority of deaths took place in Tennessee.
It was defined that contaminated steroid injections had been manufactured by the New England Compounding Center (NECC) that is located in Massachusetts. The FDA tested the company in order to define what resulted in contamination and see the situation at the NECC. It was affirmed by the FDA that the contaminated steroid injections were indeed produced by this compounding pharmacy.
According to the Associated Press, the FDA claimed that it was obvious that manufacture of medications was unsterile at the NECC. The FDA noticed that leaking water and uncontrolled temperature were just some problems at the company. The equipment used for preparing of solution for injections was unsterile.
Furthermore, the FDA stated that there were several other contaminants. Several bacterial contaminants were found at the NECC. Although these contaminants were not real pathogens, they could result in infection too. These bacterial contaminants were found in such preparations, as Betamethasone and Triamcinolone. There were not any situations reported about contamination caused by usage of these medications. But it was claimed that these medicines were also capable to cause contamination. However the bacterial contaminants were anywhere in the environment, they had not to be in drugs. 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 rules on pharmacies should be implemented. Contamination should be prevented. Otherwise, public health is in danger in the USA.
