Abstract

Between 1 October 2016 and 31 August 2017, 51 Legionnaires' disease (LD) cases from the United Kingdom, Sweden and the Netherlands were identified with associated travel to Dubai. Cases did not all stay in the same accommodation, indicating that no single accommodation could be the source for all these infections. While local investigations continue into other potential sources, clinicians should remain alert to the possibility of LD among travellers returning from Dubai with respiratory illness.

摘要

2016年10月1日至2017年8月31日期间，英国、瑞典和荷兰共确诊51例军团病病例，患者均有前往迪拜的旅行史。患者并非都住在同一住处，这表明没有单一住处可能是所有这些感染的源头。尽管当地仍在对其他潜在源头展开调查，但临床医生对于从迪拜返回且患有呼吸道疾病的旅行者感染军团病的可能性仍应保持警惕。
