Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacteria. People usually contract it by inhaling contaminated water or soil. Older adults, smokers, and those with weakened immune systems are more susceptible. Symptoms typically appear 2 to 14 days after exposure and can include fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, and headaches. While healthy individuals often recover with hospital care, the disease can be fatal for some. Complications can include lung failure and death. Approximately 1 in 10 people who develop Legionnaires' disease die from it. Legionnaires' disease accounts for 2% to 9% of pneumonia cases acquired outside of hospitals. While outbreaks receive media attention, single cases are more common. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 8,000 to 18,000 cases annually in the United States.
