Legionnaires' Disease

Swimming Pool Legionaires' Disease Legionnaires' disease can be caused by hotel swimming pools and hot tubs that are not properly cleaned and disinfected. In these situations, people may breathe in mist or vapors from the pool or hot tub that is contaminated with Legionella, the bacteria responsible for Legionnaires' disease. For information about a hotel's responsibility to its guests who contract Legionnaires' disease, please see swimming pool liability information.

The most common symptoms of Legionnaires’ disease are fever, chills, and a cough. Legionnaires' disease (Legionellosis) can be serious, and even fatal.
