The Government of Castilla-La Mancha has reported an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease in Ciudad de Manzanares (central Spain). Source is as yet unidentified, but cooling towers in the town are being sampled. So far, 7 cases have been diagnosed; 2 have been dismissed and 5 others await results.
The risk of Legionnaires' disease for travellers is considered to be low but is higher in those over 40 years-of-age, those immunosuppressed and smokers. Travellers to the area should however be aware that the outbreak is ongoing and should they develop an influenza-like illness with fever, cough or shortness of breath during their stay or up to two weeks after return home, they should seek medical advice promptly for investigation.
