Today's Guardian reports an increase in the number of cases of legionnaires' disease, with the HPA investigating 120 cases reported to it since the start of August. This is twice the number reported in the corresponding period last year.
The HPA's general information on the disease is at http://www.hpa.org.uk/infections/topics_az/legionella/menu.htm, with a press statement about the increase in cases at http://www.hpa.org.uk/hpa/news/articles/press_releases/2006/060912_legionnaires.htm
