Fourth person dies of fungal brain infection linked to dirty plastic surgery kit in Mexico

A fourth person has died from a fungal brain infection linked to dirty plastic surgery kit in Mexico.

According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the Texan is believed to have contracted fungal meningitis after doctors used un-sterilized equipment during cut-price plastic surgeries in the city of Matamoros.

There are thought to be around 180 Americans at risk after receiving an epidural anaesthesia, which is an injection to numb part of the body, during liposuction, breast augmentation and Brazilian butt lifts.
