By KIDK

Idaho Falls, Idaho (KIDK) The final test results have come in for an eastern Idaho man who was hospitalized for a possible infection of meningitis.

The good news is the results came back negative.

The 60 year old man was taken to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center after having symptoms of blurred vision a few weeks after getting an epidural steroid injection.

He was immediately put on i–v anti fungal medication and was in the hospital for about 10 days.

He was released from the hospital on Thursday. The hospital says he is doing very well, but they are still monitoring him as a precaution.
