Statistics report about six hundred people affected by Legionellosis every year in Italy, 13 percent of which got infected during a journey. This result has been presented during a meeting organized by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità on the occasion of the 20th European Working Group for Legionella Infections (www.ewgli.org).
The Institute coordinates survey activity at the National Centre for Epidemiology, Surveillance and Health Promotion and is involved in studies on the improvement of diagnostic techniques and microbiological typifying in collaboration with the Infectious, Parasitic and Immune-Mediated Diseases Department for quality controls and proficiency tests that are coordinated by the London HPA.
