Forty-seven people in seven states are now confirmed to have fungal meningitis, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday, 12 more than the day before.

The death toll hasn't risen. So far, five people have died after having a preservative-free steroid called methylprednisolone acetate contaminated by a fungus injected into their spine. Michigan, the latest state to find patients sickened by the drug is reporting four cases.
