We're learning more about the massive meningitis outbreak that sickened hundreds and killed at least 15 people in Tennessee.

Two Chattanooga health care providers were served subpoenas this week in connection with a federal lawsuit against the drug manufacturer at the root of last year's outbreak.

Two local patients, one at Erlanger, and the other at Chattanooga Neurosurgery and Spine, became sick from fungus-infested drugs that originated from the New England Compounding Center.
The two Chattanooga-area victims included in the lawsuit have not been identified.
