Laboratory Diagnosis and Analysis of a Legionella Infection Event in a Public Swimming Pool in Nantou County
並列摘要
Legionellosis is caused by Legionella. The main route of transmission is through cooling water towers, faucets and shower equipment. Hot springs and swimming pools may also become a medium for transmitting the disease. On November 25, 2006, the CDC received a clinical specimen from Chu Shang Show Chwan Hospital. Legionella pneumophila was isolated form the urine specimen of the case, which tested positive for Type 1 serum antibody. L. pneumophila serotype I was later identified in the sputum specimen of the case. Days later, L. pneumophila serotype I was also isolated in the environmental specimens from a swimming pool in an elementary school in the Chu Shang Township. Pulse-field electrophoresis showed that the strain isolated from the case had identical restriction pattern with the strain isolated from the pool, confirming the relationship between the two strains.
