Symptoms are nonspecific; however, the disease has a rapid onset and can be fatal (WHO 2007).<br /> # Legionnaires’ disease is a severe respiratory illness characterized by pneumonia (AWWA 2006)<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> Legionnaires’ disease is usually caused by L. pneumophila, but in some cases one or more<br /> additional organisms may also be involved, resulting in a mixed (polymicrobial) infection.<br /> Culture of these co-infectors has revealed a wide spectrum of organisms, including aerobic<br /> bacteria (those that require free or dissolved oxygen, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis),<br /> anaerobic bacteria (those from environments without such oxygen), viruses and fungi (Roi<br /> and Rello 2003).<br /> <br /> ==Example==<br /> In 1976, an outbreak of severe pneumonia among the participants of the American Legion<br /> Convention in Philadelphia led to the description of Legionnaires’ disease by Fraser et al.<br /> (1977). The disease was found to be caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila (<br /> Legionella after the legionnaires who were infected at the convention; pneumophila<br /> meaning “lungloving”), belonging to the family Legionellaceae.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * AWWA (2006) Waterborne Pathogens Manual of Water Suppy Practices M48 Second Edition.<br /> * Fraser D et al.
