Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia caused by breathing in bacteria from water or soil. It accounts for 2–9% of pneumonia cases acquired outside hospitals. Outbreaks receive media attention, but most cases occur individually. The US sees 8,000 to 18,000 cases annually. Older adults, those with weakened immune systems, and smokers are at higher risk. Prompt antibiotic treatment usually cures it, but untreated Legionnaires' disease can be fatal. People contract it by inhaling mist containing the bacteria. A chest x-ray diagnoses pneumonia. While healthy individuals often recover in a hospital, complications like lung failure and death can occur. About 10% of cases are fatal. In healthcare facilities, mortality rates reach 25%.
