A 64-year old man died from a travel-associated legionella pneumonia six weeks after onset of the disease. A shower nozzle, contaminated with legionellae, in a German hotel was traced as the source of infection. Strains of Legionella pneumophila, serogroup 2, were isolated from the bronchial secretion as well as from the shower water of the suspected sanitary room and from a swab from the shower nozzle and the aerosol of the shower. All strains were found to be identical according to the Fourier-Transform-Infrared-Spectroscopy. The concentration of legionellae in the shower water was 15,000 per ml. The risk of travel-associated legionella pneumonia existing also in Germany is pointed out, and it is demanded that in respect of the water quality of hotels the same regulations of sanitary hygiene should be enforced as for hospitals.
一名64岁男子在患病六周后死于与旅行相关的军团菌肺炎。在一家德国酒店中，一个被军团菌污染的淋浴喷头被追踪为感染源。从支气管分泌物、疑似卫生间的淋浴水、淋浴喷头拭子以及淋浴气溶胶中分离出嗜肺军团菌血清群2菌株。根据傅里叶变换红外光谱法，所有菌株均被发现是相同的。淋浴水中军团菌的浓度为每毫升15000个。指出德国也存在与旅行相关的军团菌肺炎风险，并要求在酒店水质方面执行与医院相同的卫生规范。
