Outbreak investigations and identification of legionella in contaminated water.
[legionellosis]
To
avoid
further
cases
arising
from
an
infectious
source
it
is
essential
to
ensure
the
early
identification
of
all
potential
source
(
s
)
within
an
identified
area
,
or
buildings
,
to
determine
if
they
are
being
managed
safely
;
to
take
appropriate
samples
and
ensure
appropriate
remedial
actions
are
taken
to
remove
the
risk
of
further
cases
.
If
samples
are
to
give
representative
results
of
the
system
at
the
time
of
sampling
it
is
essential
to
ensure
that
they
are
processed
appropriately
using
methods
which
are
both
sensitive
and
specific
.
It
is
also
imperative
that
results
are
interpreted
in
context
and
transmitted
as
soon
as
possible
to
the
outbreak
control
team
to
ensure
appropriate
and
timely
action
is
taken
on
sites
which
still
pose
a
risk
of
infection
.
A
multidisciplinary
team
approach
and
forward
planning
are
essential
to
ensure
that
there
are
sufficiently
trained
and
competent
personnel
and
resources
.
Recognition
of
sources
is
dependent
on
many
factors
including
thorough
epidemiological
investigations
to
narrow
down
the
potential
geographical
area
or
water
system
that
maybe
common
to
the
patients
as
agreed
within
the
outbreak
case
definition
.
qPCR
can
be
useful
in
both
the
elimination
and
identification
of
suspect
systems
/
sites
.
However
,
it
requires
expert
interpretation
of
results
in
the
context
of
the
sample
site
and
factors
which
may
affect
the
results
such
as
the
use
of
biocides
together
with
the
use
of
an
algorithm
for
interpretation
and
actions
to
be
taken
to
put
the
results
in
context
.
