Legionnaires' disease
Legionnaires' disease is an infection mainly caused by Legionellosis, also known as Legionella disease. The pathogen mainly comes from contaminated water sources and invades from the respiratory tract. In addition, the pathogen may also cause another clinical type with fever, headache, and myalgia as the main symptoms, which is milder and is called Pontiac fever. In 1976, the Pennsylvania Veterans Affairs Legion in the United States held a meeting in a hotel in Philadelphia. A total of 221 of the approximately 4,400 representatives and their families developed pneumonia, of which 34 died. Legionnaires' disease got its name from this. Six months later, the pathogen was isolated and identified as a previously unclassified bacterium, and was named Legionella pneumophila. Later retrospective studies found that Legionnaires' disease had already been prevalent in 1957, and the pathogen was isolated in 1943.
