Fungal Infections Associated with Contaminated Methylprednisolone Injections
NEJM 369:1598-1609, Smith, R.M.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Analysis of data from a large, multistate outbreak of fungal infections showed substantial morbidity and mortality. The infections were associated with injection of a contaminated glucocorticoid medication from a single compounding pharmacy. Rapid public health actions included prompt recall of the implicated product, notification of exposed persons, and early outreach to clinicians.
