Study warns swimming in still lakes can lead to Legionnaires' disease, a severe pneumonia.
A study warns that swimming in still water lakes can lead to Legionnaires' disease, a severe form of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria.
This bacterium thrives in warm, stagnant water and poses a higher risk to older individuals, smokers, and those with compromised immune systems.
The disease can be life-threatening and often does not respond to standard antibiotic treatments.
Clinicians are advised to consider Legionnaires' disease in patients with pneumonia that does not improve with antibiotics, especially those with recent travel or exposure to stagnant water.
