Abstract
Legionellosis is a broad collective term encompassing all infections caused by members of the genus Legionella, including Legionnaires’ Disease (severe form), non-pneumonia Pontiac fever (mild form), and Pittsburgh pneumonia. In recent years, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has noted an increase in the number of reported Legionella outbreaks and the number of confirmed cases in its member countries. Herein, we look at the recent outbreak in Poland in 2023 and discuss the public health response to the outbreak.
