• Does Denmark check all hospital cases of pneumonia to see if they
are caused by the
Legionella
organism and as a result, report a higher
number of cases overall
What the numbers definitely do show is that
Legionella
continues to
affect people across Europe, and , as a preventable disease, we should ensure
we are in a position to apply pressure to drive these numbers downward, and
to reduce the risk posed by the
Legionella
organism.
