Post: Defective Methylprednisolone from NECC complications
Posted by Sharon M Egan on 8/22/13
CBS 60 minutes featured a story on contaminated
Methylprednisolone from NECC(New England Compounding
Center) which resulted in serious life-threatening fungal
infections.
The drug was recalled by the FDA.
My wife received an injection of the drug a few weeks
before being rushed to the hospital with a serious fungal
(and MRSA) infection in her arm, wrist and hand. She spent
a week in isolation receiving antibiotics. She continued to
receive daily antibiotic infusions daily for three weeks.
(She had received carpal tunnel surgery shortly prior to
the infection).
She has never regained full function in her hand, which,
according to the surgeon, was the result of the fungal
infection. She continues to suffer from pain and numbness.
We are seeking an attorney who can seek compensation for
Sharon from New England Compounding Center.
Sincerely,
Roger & Sharon Egan
