Fungal meningitis deaths increase to 19

Posted: Updated:

(CNN) - The numbers are up again in the deadly fungal meningitis outbreak.

The Centers for Disease Control reports 19 people have died -- that's up four from Tuesday. 245 people have been infected so far. Federal investigators raided the New England Compounding Center, or NECC, in Boston to search the facilities. It's the pharmacy that made contaminated steroids linked to the outbreak.

The feds say more issues have been reported with drugs produced by the company. The center recalled all its drugs, and says it's cooperating with authorities.
