Legionellosis on the Rise: A Review of Guidelines for Prevention in the United States.
[legionellosis]
Reported
cases
of
legionellosis
more
than
tripled
between
2001
and
2012
in
the
United
States
.
The
disease
results
primarily
from
exposure
to
aerosolized
water
contaminated
with
Legionella
.
To
identify
and
describe
policies
and
guidelines
for
the
primary
prevention
of
legionellosis
in
the
US
.
An
Internet
search
for
Legionella
prevention
guidelines
in
the
United
States
at
the
federal
and
state
levels
was
conducted
from
March
to
June
2012
.
Local
government
agency
guidelines
and
guidelines
from
professional
organizations
that
were
identified
in
the
initial
search
were
also
included
.
Federal
,
state
,
and
local
governing
bodies
and
professional
organizations
.
Guidelines
and
regulations
for
the
primary
prevention
of
legionellosis
(
ie
,
Legionnaires
'
disease
and
Pontiac
fever
)
have
been
developed
by
various
public
health
and
other
government
agencies
at
the
federal
,
state
,
and
local
levels
as
well
as
by
professional
organizations
.
These
guidelines
are
similar
in
recommending
maintenance
of
building
water
systems
;
federal
and
other
guidelines
differ
in
the
population
/
institutions
targeted
,
the
extent
of
technical
detail
,
and
support
of
monitoring
water
systems
for
levels
of
Legionella
contamination
.
Legionellosis
deserves
a
higher
public
health
priority
for
research
and
policy
development
.
Guidance
across
public
health
agencies
for
the
primary
prevention
of
legionellosis
requires
strengthening
as
this
disease
escalates
in
importance
as
a
cause
of
severe
morbidity
and
mortality
.
We
recommend
a
formal
and
comprehensive
review
of
national
public
health
guidelines
for
prevention
of
legionellosis
.
