Legionnaires' Disease  

Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia, lung inflammation usually caused by infection. Legionnaires' disease is caused by a bacterium known as legionella.  The bacterium Legionella pneumophila is responsible for most cases of Legionnaires' disease. Outdoors, Legionella bacteria survive in soil and water, but rarely cause infections. Indoors, though, Legionella bacteria can multiply in all kinds of water systems, water tanks, hot tubs, air conditioners and mist sprayers in grocery store produce departments.  Most outbreaks have occurred in large buildings.  In the summer of 2013, a deadly outbreak occurred locally here in Central Ohio at a Reynoldsburg nursing home.
