Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Legionellosis, encompassing Legionnaires' disease and Pontiac fever, is a significant public health concern.
  • Surveillance data is crucial for understanding the epidemiological trends of infectious diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the epidemiological situation of legionellosis in Poland during 2016.
  • To compare the 2016 legionellosis data with previous years' trends.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of national surveillance data from "Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland in 2016" and prior bulletins.
  • Inclusion of legionellosis case reports submitted to the Department of Epidemiology of NIPH - NIH.

Main Results:

  • In 2016, 27 legionellosis cases were reported (25 Legionnaires' disease, 2 Pontiac fever), with an incidence rate of 0.070 per 100,000 population.
  • Cases were reported in 11 provinces, with higher incidence in men. Twenty cases were autochthonous, including four linked to hospital water systems; seven were travel-associated.
  • Two fatal cases were reported, both in women. Most cases required hospitalization.

Conclusions:

  • The annual incidence of legionellosis in Poland remains low compared to the EU average.
  • The observed increase in cases and reporting provinces suggests potential under-recognition and underdiagnosis nationwide.
