Sustained transmission of nosocomial Legionnaires disease--Arizona and Ohio.

.   

Abstract

In 1996, two hospitals reported sustained transmission of nosocomial Legionnaires disease (LD). The hot water distribution systems in each hospital were implicated as the sources of infection. This report summarizes investigations in these two hospitals by hospital personnel, state and local health officials, and CDC and efforts to control transmission.
