The Kentucky Depart-
ment for Public Health has
been notified of five recent
cases of fungal meningitis
in Kentucky residents who
received medical care in
Tennessee. These cases of
illness match the pattern
associated with a multi-
state outbreak thathas
been linked to injections
from three lots of steroid
medications distributed
by the New England Com-
pounding Center, a com-
poundingmnly pharmacy.
This type of fungal menin-
gifts is not contagious.
The New England Com-
pounding Center has is-
sued a voluntary recall
of all products it has pro-
duced or distributed. Al-
though none of the impli-
cated lots of contaminated
medication is known to
have been distributed in
Kentucky, other lots and
types medicines from this
company have been sent
to Kentucky facilities. The
U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration and KDPH
recommend that pharma-
ceuticals manufactured
by this company not be
used for patients. More
information on this recall
is available at the FDA's
webgzte.
Pae Department for
Public Health is closely
monitoring this situation
as it evolves," said Dr.
Stephanie Mayfield, com-
missioner of the Depart-
ment for Public Health.
"We now know that several
Kentuckians who received
treatment out of state have
been affected by this out-
break. We are working
with our partners at lo-
cal health departments
and with the state health
care associations to notify
health care facilities that
may have received medi-
cations included on the
recall list to ensure that
they are not used to treat
Kentucky patients."
Kentuckians who have
received epidural steroid
injections since May 21
and have any of the follow-
ing symptoms should talk
to their health provider as
soon as possible:
Worsening headache
Fever
Sensitivity to light
Stiff neck
New weakness or
numbness in any part of
your body
Slurred speech
If Kentuckians have
questions or concerns
about steroid injections
they have received, DPH
recommends they contact
their health care provider.
Clinicians should immedi-
ately inform the state or
local health department
of any patients that are
undergoing evaluation for
suspected fungal infection
related to this outbreak.
For more information and
national updates on the
multistate outbreak, visit
the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention

Morehead State Univer-
sit s Office of Enrollment
Services will host an Open
House, Saturday, Nov. 3,
from 9 a.m. until noon in
the Adron Doran Univer-
sity Center on the More
head campus.
According to enrollment
services, the Open House
event will be an excellent
opportunity for students
and families to discover
why MSU has been named
one of "America's Best
Colleges" by U.S. News
and World Report for the
ninth year running.
University representa-
fives will be available to
meet students and their
families, answer ques-
tions, lead campus tours
and share information con-
cerning college life.
"Our goal is to make it
convenient to get answers
to questions about starting
college by bringing deans,
department chairs and
faculty from our academic
programs, as well as staff
from admissions, financial
aid, housing and many
more services together
in one place," said Holly
Pollock, director of under-
graduate admissions.
"Families will hear suc-
cess stories about our
graduates and learn some
statistics that demonstrate
the academic quality of-
fered at MSU."
On one such measure of
success, MSU graduates
are consistently accepted
into professional schools,
including medical, dental
and pharmacy programs,
at rates well above state
and national averages.
Students and families
are encouraged to register
for the Open House. To
learn much more about
this event or to complete
