A Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in the Bronx has sickened at least 46 and killed 2 thus far. This follows a cluster earlier this year in Flushing, and regular, sporadic cases totaling 200-300 per year in New York City. Ironically, the Bronx outbreak is occurring on the anniversary of the first Legionnaires’ outbreak, which was in Philadelphia in 1976. That occurred at an American Legion’s convention, sickened more than 221, and led to 34 deaths.
