The Pritzker Hageman Legionnaires’ Disease Law Firm is Investigating. Lawsuits are expected.
One person is dead and 20 more are sick in a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Marshalltown, IA, according to the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (IDHHS), which did not release further details.
Legionnaires’ disease is a severe form of pneumonia that people get when they inhale water vapor contaminated with Legionella bacteria. It isn’t contagious.
Outbreak in Marshalltown
IDHHS has asked Marshalltown businesses and property owners, especially those with cooling towers, hot tubs, or fountains, to review their water management practices and disinfect their water systems. The agency is also recommending that area doctors test any patients with pneumonia symptoms for Legionnaires’ disease.
Symptoms of Legionnaires’ Disease
Symptoms of Legionnaires’ disease usually develop within two to 14 days of exposure and include:
- Headache
- Fever
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Muscle aches
