The FDA now says 111 Minnesota clinics received drugs from a Massachusetts pharmacy at the center of a fungal meningitis outbreak.
That's 18 fewer clinics than state officials reported last week after receiving a different FDA provider list.
Only one steroid made by New England Compounding Center has been linked to the current meningitis outbreak. But the FDA has warned it can't verify the safety of other drugs made at the facility.
Assistant state epidemiologist Richard Danila says the new FDA list left off more than a dozen Minnesota clinics and he doesn't know why.

"It's sort of frustrating for health departments because they got that first list and went out like we did and quickly notified everybody and then come to find out there's been a new list and clinics are not on the list; and it's very confusing. And FDA has not been very helpful at all," he said.
Most patients exposed to potentially contaminated NECC products have likely been contacted already by their providers, Danila said. The Minnesota Department of Health receives daily calls about patients with meningitis symptoms who received other injectable drugs from NECC.
"Probably we are getting maybe between four to seven or eight calls a day from emergency room doctors that are seeing patients who have symptoms who said they were notified by their clinic or clinician that they received a potentially contaminated product," he said.
So far only one NECC drug, methylprednisolone acetate, has been linked to the fungal meningitis outbreak. But the FDA is investigating a case of fungal meningitis in a patient who received another NECC steroid.
The FDA is also investigating a transplant case in which a patient who received a NECC cardiac solution later developed a fungal infection.
