5 D
Legionnaires’ disease is an acute respiratory tract infection caused by a
Gram-negative bacillus of the Legionella species. It is characterised by the
development of pneumonia. The incubation period is from 2 to 10 days. The
condition is attributed to the inhalation of water droplets, such as from water
generated in air-conditioning cooling systems and in hot-water systems, that
are contaminated with the microorganism. Prevention techniques are based
on the maintenance of air-conditioning filters and water systems.
D- is characterized by the development of pneumonia.
