Abstract

During August and September 2010, an outbreak comprising 22 cases of Legionnaires' disease was identified by the public health service in Wales. The cases are distributed over a wide geographical area in South East Wales. There are two space-time clusters centred on the upper Rhymney Valley and the lower Cynon Valley respectively. Epidemiological investigations are compatible with cooling towers in each location as the potential source, but environmental inspections were satisfactory and microbiological investigations are inconclusive.

摘要

2010 年 8 月和 9 月期间，威尔士公共卫生局发现了一起包含 22 例军团病病例的暴发事件。这些病例分布在威尔士东南部的广泛地理区域内。有两个时空聚集区，分别以上 Rhymney 谷和下 Cynon 谷为中心。流行病学调查结果表明，每个地点的冷却塔都可能是潜在的传染源，但环境检查令人满意，微生物学调查尚无定论。
