Is Venice an ideal habitat for Legionella pneumophila?
[legionellosis]
Legionella
bacterium
manifests
itself
in
Legionnaire
's
disease
and
Pontiac
fever
,
it
is
mainly
found
and
transmitted
by
aerosol
produced
in
cooling
towers
,
water
distribution
plants
and
medical
equipment
,
and
it
affects
mainly
elder
persons
in
poor
health
.
The
population
of
Venice
Local
Health
Unit
was
divided
in
two
areas
of
study
and
the
incidence
of
legionellosis
in
residents
of
Venice
historical
centre
(
Distretto
Sanitario
1
)
and
in
residents
of
the
mainland
and
coastal
areas
(
Distretti
Sanitari
2
,
3
,
4
)
was
calculated
.
The
cases
were
those
notified
to
the
Public
Health
Unit
by
law
,
and
the
population
of
residents
was
that
of
the
eligible
for
health
care
in
the
archives
of
the
Local
Health
Unit
.
Only
cases
of
legionellosis
in
residents
who
had
not
travelled
in
the
10
days
previous
of
the
onset
of
disease
,
and
not
related
to
nosocomial
clusters
were
considered
.
The
standardized
incidence
ratio
was
then
calculated
and
confidence
interval
were
defined
by
Poisson
distribution
.
Given
the
population
of
the
two
areas
,
59801
in
Distretto
Sanitario
1
and
237555
in
Distretti
2
,
3
,
4
,
the
raw
incidence
of
disease
is
respectively
87
per
100000
and
20
per
100000
in
time
2002
-
2010
.
The
standardized
incidence
ratio
for
the
population
of
Distretto
Sanitario
1
vs
the
remaining
population
is
4
.
3
.
The
difference
in
risk
of
getting
the
disease
in
this
two
residential
areas
geographically
very
close
,
is
probably
related
to
the
different
buildings
'
characteristics
,
old
and
difficult
to
maintain
in
Venice
historical
centre
.
