Question of the Day July 28, 2014 In 2004 NECC settled a lawsuit claiming that a compounded shot caused bacterial meningitis. How many other compounding pharmacies have settled cases involving harm caused by their compounded preparations and these cases have gone virtually unnoticed each year?

A 2004 lawsuit filed in upstate New York's Monroe County claimed New England Compounding Center produced a tainted shot that caused William Koch to contract bacterial meningitis at Rochester General Hospital on July 17, 2002. Koch died Feb. 28, 2004, at the age of 83.
The lawsuit said the shot was the source of Koch's meningitis, but did not explain how that determination was made.
Bacterial meningitis is contagious and much more common than the fungal meningitis involved in the current outbreak. Fungal meningitis is more difficult to catch, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The compounding pharmacy reached a settlement with Koch's widow in 2007 before the case went to trial, according to her lawyer Mark S. Nunn. He declined to elaborate Wednesday because the terms were confidential.
"Really all I can say is that the case settled prior to trial," Nunn said.
