Hello Lauri,
Dr. Janet Stout referred me to you. We are currently experiencing a legionella outbreak in our county and are
investigating multiple sources as potential causes for our increase. Since June 2014, we have had 47 cases of Legionella,
almost four times the number of cases we had during 2013, and the highest number of cases per county in the state for
2014. We have investigated a hospital as a potential source for the disease, but have expanded our investigation to
include the city water supply. Of our 47 cases, 25 cases have occurred within the city water supply distribution system.
No common links or associations have been determined between the cases. The majority of our cases are home bound
immune-comprised individuals who have not traveled and are not readily mobile. They are also unable to answer our
questions when we investigate due to the severity of their conditions once hospitalized. We are in the process of
developing a survey to implement for all new incoming cases as well as going back to all our previous cases. Dr. Stout

Thank You,
