Abstract
SUMMARYLegionella pneumophilaserogroup 1 was isolated from post mortem specimens from 13 out of 58 patients with pneumonia diagnosed at autopsy. The results of a study undertaken in the hospital environment showed that the water plumbing system was colonized withL. pneumophilaserogroup 1 which could also be isolated from respiratory devices filled with tap water. Control measures instituted are described.
