A R Gibson, J De Jager, I McCrossin.   

Abstract

The occurrence of pustular folliculitis in eight people after the use of health-spa whirlpools is described for the first time in Australia. The lesions were discovered ad identified during the peak season in two resorts in the Snowy Mountains area near Jindabyne, New South Wales. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, identified as serotype 0:6, was isolated from pus swabs of the lesions, water in the spa pools and pool filters.
