摘要: An extensive study of the plumbing systems in Kingston Hospital was made over three years following 1980 outbreak legionnaires' disease. The introduction chlorination and raising water temperature controlled but failed to decontaminate outlets wards. Legionella pneumophila isolated from rubber washers shower fittings, laboratory experiments demonstrated ability L grow contact with these components. All components hospital's fittings were replaced an approved type, since then has not been or
