This indicator shows the number of incident Legionellosis cases.
Why is this important?
Legionellosis is an acute respiratory tract infection caused by the bacteria, Legionella. Legionella is most commonly found in water and potting mixes and grows best in warm environments such as hot tubs, cooling towers, hot-water tanks, large plumbing systems or the air-conditioning systems of large buildings.
Risks for infection include older age, smoking, chronic lung disease, renal insufficiency, diabetes and immune deficiency. Death occurs in 10% to 15% of cases. Infections are treated with antibiotics.
