    Legionalla Cases in South Bronx 2015

    Uploaded by

    Clifford Allen Cooper
    Public health officials used DNA testing to link a Legionnaires' disease outbreak in the Bronx, New York to cooling towers at a hotel. A map shows the geographic pattern of affected patients and identifies their zip codes, as well as the location of cooling towers. DNA results from patients' samples all matched the outbreak pattern, while some towers' results were still pending or their patterns could not be determined. The map aids the investigation into the source of the outbreak.
