Abstract

Legionellosis is a respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Legionella spp. The aim of the study is to describe the epidemiological situation of the disease in Spain (period 1997-2002). Epidemiological outbreaks, reported cases and mortality are identified as their integration in the background of the health regulations. Disease monitoring requires epidemiological and preventive tools, useful to control the development and spreading of the bacterium.
