The number of people diagnosed with fungal meningitis has risen to 205 across 14 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Sunday. The outbreak has been linked to tainted steroid injections produced by the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts.

Tennessee leads the country with the most cases—53 in total so far and six deaths. Michigan has also been hit hard with 41 cases and three deaths, according to the CDC.
