The outbreak of Legionnaires' disease in Glasgow Royal Infirmary is discussed together with the problems such an outbreak poses to the microbiologist. The importance of early diagnosis is stressed. The outbreak was managed by a team drawn up from various disciplines within the hospital. Frank daily reports to the press, together with regular staff meetings with staff representatives helped to allay public anxiety. The subsequent maintenance and monitoring of the wet cooling tower required for the hospital ventilation system have resulted in considerable additional work for the microbiology department but especially for the hospital engineers.
