A sporadic case of Legionnaires' disease was linked to travel on a cruise ship. Investigation identified two further cases of Legionnaires' Disease and one case of non-pneumonic Legionella infection. An Incident Team confirmed the source to be the ship's water system and control measures were instituted that included pasteurisation, super chlorination and chlorine dioxide dosing. The Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre (CDSC), through the European Surveillance Scheme for Travel Associated Legionnaires' Disease, identified three previous cases associated with the same ship's water system including one fatality. Lessons for the international surveillance and control of Legionnaires' disease on cruise ships are discussed.
一例军团病散发病例与乘坐游轮旅行有关。调查又发现了另外两例军团病病例和一例非肺炎型军团菌感染病例。一个事故处理小组确认源头是船上的水系统，并采取了包括巴氏消毒、超氯消毒和二氧化氯投加在内的控制措施。公共卫生实验室服务处（PHLS）传染病监测中心（CDSC）通过欧洲旅行相关军团病监测计划，确认了此前还有三例与同一艘船的水系统有关的病例，其中一例死亡。文中讨论了游轮上军团病国际监测和控制的经验教训。
