A severe, often lethal, form of pneumonia which is usually caused by an infection called Legionnaire’s disease which outbreaks are more likely in the summer or early autumn, but they can happen at any time of year.
Legionella bacteria commonly exist in water. They are found in rivers and lakes, and some other water sources, generally in low numbers.
Legionnaires’ disease can be contracted by inhaling small droplets of tainted water, but not from drinking it. An infected person cannot generally pass the infection to another person, although it is possible in rare cases. This disease often includes symptoms like fever, chills, and cough.
Although antibiotics are an effective medical treatment, the most useful approach is prevention with the maintenance of water systems. Prevention is still always better than cure.
