George Cary and his daughters Heather Andrus, 33, middle, of Howell, Mich., and Jill Bloser, 43, of Charleston, S.C., during a memorial service for Lillian Cary last week in Howell.

A Livingston County man whose wife died in the national meningitis outbreak has good news: Tests show he doesn't have the illness.

George Cary received pain injections and was treated at the same Brighton-area clinic as his late wife, Lilian Cary, who died Sept. 30. Cary had a spinal tap to check for meningitis more than a week ago. He told The Associated Press on Tuesday there's no evidence of meningitis.

Fungal meningitis has been traced to contaminated steroids made by a Massachusetts pharmacy and sent to clinics across the country. At least four Michigan residents have died.

Separately, a lawsuit was filed Monday in Detroit federal court on behalf of any Michigan resident who may have been exposed to tainted steroids from New England Compounding Pharmacy.
