11 Cases Of Legionnaire’s Disease Confirmed At UW Hospital

U-W Hospital reports 11 patients were treated for Legionnaire’s disease, with six of them now discharged or treated at outpatient locations.  Hospital officials say more cases could be found before Wednesday, the day the incubation period for the bacteria is set to end.  The cases have been linked to the hospital’s decision to reduce water flow during times of low demand.  That made the system vulnerable to the bacteria.  One patient died.
