Legionnaires' disease was diagnosed in two patients in a transplant unit, both patients having occupied the same postoperative cubicle shortly before onset of their illnesses. Legionella pneumophila was found in water taken from the cubicle shower bath and from other showers in the unit. To eradicate the legionellae, the water supply was treated with chlorine, but this had only a temporary effect.
在一个移植病房中,两名患者被诊断出患有军团病,这两名患者在发病前不久都曾住在同一间术后小隔间里。从该小隔间的淋浴喷头以及病房内其他淋浴喷头采集的水样中发现了嗜肺军团菌。为了根除军团菌,对供水系统进行了氯处理,但这只产生了暂时的效果。
