Six hundred and fifty five cases of travel-associated legionnaires' disease with onset in 2004 have been reported to the EWGLINET surveillance scheme by 25 countries. A total of 84.9% of cases were diagnosed by the urinary antigen test, and 37 cultures were obtained. Thirty seven deaths were reported, giving a case fatality rate of 5.6%. Eighty six new clusters were detected, 45% of which would not have been detected without the EWGLINET scheme. Ninety four accommodation sites were investigated and the names of four sites were published on the EWGLI website. Fifteen sites were associated with additional cases after a report was received to say that investigations and control measures had been satisfactorily carried out. Further improvements could be made in the data collected on deaths due to travel-associated legionnaires' disease, and on the number of samples taken for culture throughout Europe.
25个国家已向欧洲军团病监测网络（EWGLINET）报告了2004年发病的655例旅行相关军团病病例。总共84.9%的病例通过尿抗原检测确诊，共进行了37次培养。报告了37例死亡病例，病死率为5.6%。检测到86个新的聚集性病例，其中45%若没有EWGLINET监测系统将无法被发现。调查了94个住宿场所，其中4个场所的名称公布在EWGLI网站上。在收到报告称调查和控制措施已得到满意实施后，有15个场所又出现了新增病例。在旅行相关军团病死亡病例数据以及整个欧洲采集用于培养的样本数量方面，仍可进一步改进。
