Legionella pneumophila is a bacterium that causes the disease legionellosis. The disease can occur when people inhale the bacterium, for example, in a shower or through a spray system. The flu-like variant, also known as Pontiac fever, is usually temporary and self-limiting, whereas Legionnaires’ disease is a chronic lung condition with potentially fatal outcomes. For infection to occur, the bacterium must be inhaled through the nose or mouth and establish itself in the lungs.

The spread occurs through so-called aerosols, which are tiny water droplets that may contain the bacterium and are generated by turbulent water movements. Risk groups include individuals with weakened immune systems, the elderly, and heavy smokers.

Our research shows that in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Oceania, the burden decreased from 33.3 to 17.0 per 100,000 people between 1990 and 2021. In South Asia, it dropped from 43.0 to 27.5 per 100,000. However, in middle-income countries (many in Asia), there is a slight increase among 15–69-year-olds. For example in Taiwan Taiwan 416 victims in 2023; normally 40-110 per year. And in Hong kong 121 in 2023 and 135 in 2024.
