Legionellosis in Poland in 2012.
[legionellosis]
The
objective
of
the
article
is
to
assess
the
epidemiological
situation
of
legionellosis
in
Poland
in
2012
in
comparison
to
the
preceding
years
.
The
analysis
of
epidemiological
situation
was
based
on
the
data
published
in
the
annual
bulletin
:
"
Infectious
diseases
and
poisonings
in
Poland
in
2012
"
and
its
prior
versions
as
well
as
the
legionellosis
case
reports
sent
to
the
Department
of
Epidemiology
of
NIPH-NIH
.
In
Poland
,
all
cases
of
legionellosis
,
including
Legionnaires
'
disease
-
a
form
of
disease
accompanied
by
pneumonia
and
mild
,
influenza-like
form
of
infection
-
Pontiac
fever
are
routinely
reported
to
the
surveillance
.
In
2012
,
a
total
of
10
legionellosis
cases
were
reported
(
8
cases
of
Legionnaires
'
disease
and
2
cases
of
Pontiac
fever
)
;
the
incidence
was
0
.
026
per
100
000
population
which
compared
to
the
previous
year
and
median
incidence
for
2006
-
2010
was
45
%
and
65
%
lower
,
respectively
.
The
infections
were
reported
in
6
provinces
.
The
incidence
in
males
(
0
.
03
per
100
000
)
was
slightly
higher
compared
to
females
(
0
.
02
)
.
No
legionellosis
outbreaks
were
registered
-
all
infections
were
of
sporadic
nature
.
All
cases
were
hospitalized
.
The
sanitary
inspection
reported
two
fatal
cases
over
the
age
of
60
.
Of
these
infections
,
seven
were
developed
in
the
country
,
including
one
hospital-
and
one
sanatorium-acquired
infection
.
Two
infections
were
associated
with
travels
abroad
(
one
to
Spain
and
one
to
Egypt
)
and
one
infection
occurred
in
driver
while
transporting
the
goods
to
the
Netherlands
.
In
2012
,
no
changes
of
fundamental
features
of
legionellosis
epidemiological
situation
in
Poland
were
observed
.
It
is
recommended
to
enhance
the
surveillance
for
legionellosis
,
with
emphasis
on
conducting
environmental
investigation
in
areas
where
infections
have
occurred
.
