#Podcast DROP Notice via my host of the Contagion_Live podcast series.
Last year, Sarah Bergbower was a Doctorate of Clinical Laboratory Studies (DCLS) graduate student and rounding with the infectious disease service, when she was asked by her attending to participate in a case in what was becoming a major medical investigation.
Several cases of fungal meningitis were identified in American patients who had been traveling to Mexico to receive cosmetic surgery. For Bergbower's team, they were focusing on 1 of the cases of an inpatient they were treating, but also there was a wider review of the overall cases being performed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
