List of Legionnaires disease outbreaks

Short description: none

This is a list of Legionnaires' disease outbreaks; Legionnaire's is a potentially fatal infectious disease caused by gram negative, aerobic bacteria belonging to the genus Legionella.[1][2] The first reported outbreak was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1976 during a Legionnaires Convention at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel.[3]

An outbreak is defined as two or more cases where the onset of illness is closely linked in time (weeks rather than months) and in space, where there is suspicion of, or evidence of, a common source of infection, with or without microbiological support (i.e. common spatial location of cases from travel history).[4]

There is a possibility that more people died from it (which might make it the deadliest recorded outbreak), but these people were interred before the Legionella infection was recognized. The source of the bacteria was a hot tub in the exhibition area.[11][12]

2000 | Melbourne, Australia | Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium | Cooling tower | 125 125  | 004 4  | 3.2% | In April 2000, an outbreak of Legionella pnemophila serogroup 1 occurred in Melbourne, Australia. The outbreak resulted in 125 confirmed cases of Legionnaire's disease, with 95 (76%) hospitalised. It is reported that 4 died from the outbreak. The investigation traced the source of the infection to the cooling tower at the newly opened aquarium.[13] Since this outbreak, legionella infection statistics are required to be reported by the state government as a notifiable disease.[14] Regulations were introduced by the state to control legionella in 2001.[15]
2000 | Vizela, Portugal | Public square | Decorative fountain | 11 11  | 000 0  | 0% | In August 2000, an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease occurred in Vizela, Northern Portugal.[16] A total of 11 persons with Legionnaires' disease were admitted to the hospital.[17] There were no fatalities. All patients had been in the main square of Vizela in the night of August 11–12, 2000, where the annual festivities of the municipality were being held.[16] Investigators traced the source of the outbreak to a decorative fountain located in the square.[17]

| 0.8% | The world's largest outbreak of Legionnaires' disease happened in July 2001 with patients appearing at the hospital on July 7, in Murcia, Spain . More than 800 suspected cases were recorded by the time the last case was treated on July 22; 636–696 of these cases were estimated and 449 confirmed (so, at least 16,000 people were exposed to the bacterium) and 6 died . A case-fatality rate of approximately 1%.[18]
2002 | Barrow-in-Furness, England | 2002 Barrow-in-Furness legionellosis outbreak | Air conditioning | 172 172  | 007 7  | 4.1% | In 2002, Barrow-in-Furness in England had an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease. Six women and one man died as a result of the illness; another 172 people also contracted the disease. The cause was found to be a contaminated cooling tower at the town's Forum 28 arts centre.[19] Barrow Borough Council later became the first public body in the UK to be charged with corporate manslaughter but were cleared. They were, however, along with architect Gillian Beckingham, fined for breaches of Health and Safety regulations in a trial that ended in 2006.

Within a week, twenty-one of the residents had died. Culture results at first were negative. The source of the outbreak was traced to the air-conditioning cooling towers on the nursing home's roof.[21]
2005 | Fredrikstad, Norway | Factory | Air scrubber | 103 103  | 010 10  | 9.7% | At least 103 people became ill and ten died from Legionnaires' disease caused by bacteria growing in an air scrubber of a nearby factory.[22]
2007  | Jastrzębie Zdrój, Poland | 2nd District Specialist Hospital, Ophthalmic Ward  | Water system  | 4  | 3  | 75%  | In January 2007 in the 2nd district specialist hospital in Jastrzębie-Zdrój two patients on the ophthalmic ward unexpectedly died. It was noted that they suddenly had a high fever, coughs and hallucinations. First they were transferred to the infectious diseases ward for some hours with a suspicion of pneumonia, later they were transferred to intensive care.

Tests showed that both patients had legionellosis. The disease proved to be the cause of death of one of the patients, the other also had circulatory failure. The bacteria responsible for legionellosis was found in four patients from this hospital.[23] In total the outbreak resulted in three deaths[24]

## Governmental controls to prevent outbreaks

### Regulations and ordinances

The guidance issued by the UK government's Health and Safety Executive (HSE) now recommends that microbiological monitoring for wet cooling systems, using a dipslide, should be performed weekly. The guidance now also recommends that routine testing for legionella bacteria in wet cooling systems be carried out at least quarterly, and more frequently when a system is being commissioned, or if the bacteria have been identified on a previous occasion.[79] Further non-statutory UK guidance from the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme now exists for pre-heating of water in applications such as solar water heating systems.[80]

The City of Garland, Texas, United States requires yearly testing for legionella bacteria at cooling towers at apartment buildings.[81]

Malta requires twice yearly testing for Legionella bacteria at cooling towers and water fountains. Malta prohibits the installation of new cooling towers and evaporative condensers at health care facilities and schools.[82]

The Texas Department of State Health Services has provided guidelines for hospitals to detect and prevent the spread of nosocomial infection due to legionella.[83] The European Working Group for Legionella Infections (EWGLI)[84] was established in 1986 within the European Union framework to share knowledge and experience about potential sources of Legionella and their control. This group has published guidelines[85] about the actions to be taken to limit the number of colony forming units (i.e., the "aerobic count") of micro-organisms per mL at 30 °C (minimum 48 hours incubation):

Aerobic count | Legionella | Action required

|
|

10,000 or less | 1,000 or less | System under control.
more than 10,000
up to 100,000 | more than 1,000
up to 10,000 | Review program operation. The count should be confirmed by immediate re-sampling. If a similar count is found again, a review of the control measures and risk assessment should be carried out to identify any remedial actions.
more than 100,000 | more than 10,000 | Implement corrective action. The system should immediately be re-sampled. It should then be 'shot dosed' with an appropriate biocide, as a precaution. The risk assessment and control measures should be reviewed to identify remedial actions.

Almost all natural water sources contain Legionella and their presence should not be taken as an indication of a problem. The tabled figures are for total aerobic plate count, cfu/ml at 30 °C (minimum 48 hours incubation) with colony count determined by the pour plate method according to ISO 6222(21) or spread plate method on yeast extract agar. Legionella isolation can be conducted using the method developed by the US Center for Disease Control using buffered charcoal yeast extract agar with antibiotics.[citation needed]

Copper-Silver ionization is an effective industrial control and prevention process to eradicate Legionella in potable water distribution systems and cooling towers found in health facilities, hotels, nursing homes and most large buildings. In 2003, ionization became the first such hospital disinfection process to have fulfilled a proposed four-step modality evaluation; by then it had been adopted by over 100 hospitals.[86] Additional studies indicate ionization is superior to thermal eradication.[87]

A 2011 study by Lin, Stout and Yu found Copper-Silver ionization to be the only Legionella control technology which has been validated through a 4-step scientific approach.[88]

It was previously believed that transmission of the bacterium was restricted to much shorter distances. A team of French scientists reviewed the details of an epidemic of Legionnaires' disease that took place in Pas-de-Calais in northern France in 2003–2004. There were 86 confirmed cases during the outbreak, of whom 18 died. The source of infection was identified as a cooling tower in a petrochemical plant, and an analysis of those affected in the outbreak revealed that some infected people lived as far as 6–7 km from the plant.[89]

A study of Legionnaires' disease cases in May 2005 in Sarpsborg, Norway concluded that: "The high velocity, large drift, and high humidity in the air scrubber may have contributed to the wide spread of Legionella species, probably for >10 km."[90]

In 2010 a study by the UK Health Protection Agency reported that 20% of cases may be caused by infected windscreen washer systems filled with pure water. The finding came after researchers spotted that professional drivers are five times more likely to contract the disease. No cases of infected systems were found whenever a suitable washer fluid was used.[91]

Temperature affects the survival of Legionella as follows:[92]

>   * 70 to 80 °C (158 to 176 °F): Disinfection range
>   * At 66 °C (151 °F): Legionellae die within 2 minutes
>   * At 60 °C (140 °F): They die within 32 minutes
>   * At 55 °C (131 °F): They die within 5 to 6 hours
>   * Above 50 °C (122 °F): They can survive but do not multiply
>   * 35 to 46 °C (95 to 115 °F): Ideal growth range
>   * 20 to 50 °C (68 to 122 °F): Growth range
>   * Below 20 °C (68 °F): They can survive but are dormant

Removing slime, which can carry legionellae when airborne, may be an effective control process.[93]
