CDC Resources on Fungal Meningitis
The CDC has asked the AOA to help in sharing the following information about the multistate fungal meningitis outbreak:

  • The CDC has launched a new telephone-based Clinicians Consultation Network service to assist clinicians treating patients who received injections with the contaminated steroid medication. To access the service, physicians should call 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) and then select the appropriate prompts.

  • The agency also wants doctors to be aware of recent indications of two unusual clinical complications - epidural abscess and arachnoiditis- among a portion of patients undergoing treatment for meningitis associated with contaminated injections.

  • Regularly updated guidance documents about clinical aspects of the outbreak are available on CDC's outbreak-related Clinician Guidance page.

In addition, the AOA works to promote public health by providing a wealth of resources and tools to help physicians address public health concerns and encourage patients to lead healthy lifestyles. As part of this effort, we provide the following online resources:
