 Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in New York City kills 7, infects 114

Health officials in New York City have confirmed a seventh death connected to a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Central Harlem, where more than 100 people have been infected. The latest fatality, announced Thursday, involved a person who died before mid-August and was later linked to the cluster.

As of Thursday, 114 cases of Legionnaires’ disease have been reported, with six patients currently hospitalized. Investigators identified Legionella bacteria in 12 cooling towers across 10 buildings, including a city-run hospital and a sexual health clinic. Remediation efforts on all affected towers have been completed. The disease, a form of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria, spreads through building water systems, including cooling towers. Symptoms typically appear two days to two weeks after exposure and include cough, fever, headaches, muscle aches, and shortness of breath. Health officials advise residents and workers in the area to seek medical attention if they develop flu-like symptoms.
