Purpose

To monitor the epidemiology and incidence of Legionnaires’ disease. Legionnaires’ disease (LD), primarily caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, is a respiratory illness characterized by fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headaches, and pneumonia. Illness often results in hospitalization and has a 10% fatality rate. Symptoms develop 2-14 days following exposure to an environmental source, primarily through inhalation of aerosolized water containing Legionella. Legionella is not usually transmitted from person-to-person.
