Investigation Summary
Employee #1 died of Pneumonia. The death certificate listed Employee #1's cause of death as Legionnaire's disease. During the inspection, samples were collected from all possible water sources at the work place. A sample of the hot water from the women's bathroom had 60 colony forming units per milliliter of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 on the culture. A sample of hot water from the men's bathroom had 20 colony forming units per milliliter of a mixed plate of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1and Legionella dumoffii on the culture. Both samples were initial flush samples, and the water temperature was around 118 degrees Fahrenheit. These levels were approaching levels of Legionella bacteria that may cause an outbreak of diseases, such as Legionnaire's disease and Pontiac Fever. No other water samples had indications of the bacteria being present, and no current employees had been diagnosed as having the disease. Unfortunately, no samples from the deceased were kept by the hospital, and a genetic comparison could not be made to determine if the same bacteria was involved. Hence, it could not be proved that the disease was work related.
