Healthcare-associated Legionnaires' disease often leads to fatal respiratory tract infection among hospitalized patients. In this report, three cases of Legionnaires' disease among patients in two different hospitals (Hospital A and Hospital B) were investigated. After conducting an epidemiologic and environmental investigation, the water distribution systems (WDSs) were identified as the possible source of infection, as serogroup 1 (1) was isolated from both clinical and environmental samples. Patients received aerosol therapy with nebulizers during their hospitalization. Based on the results of the investigation, the hospitals' infection control committees reviewed their policies for Legionnaires' disease prevention and implemented control measures focusing on using sterile fluids for aerosol treatments.
医疗保健相关的军团病常常导致住院患者发生致命的呼吸道感染。在本报告中，对两家不同医院（A医院和B医院）的3例军团病病例进行了调查。在开展流行病学和环境调查后，水分配系统被确定为可能的感染源，因为从临床和环境样本中均分离出了血清型1。患者在住院期间接受了雾化器雾化治疗。根据调查结果，医院感染控制委员会审查了其军团病预防政策，并实施了以使用无菌液体进行雾化治疗为重点的控制措施。
