legionnaire's disease

Legionnaires' disease killed one person and infected another at the Queens Boulevard complex.

The city is testing the water at 93-10 Queens Blvd. 

Low levels of Legionella bacteria have potential to cause human disease, city officials say.

A switchboard operator from the 23rd Precinct was diagnosed with the disease this week, officials said.

It's likely the bacteria was spread through vapor in the air, but officials don't know from where.

The outbreak has been ongoing for 11 days, city officials said.

Three other patients who stayed at Hope Lodge on 32nd Street also contracted the illness, the suit says.

A resident of The Brielle at Seaview was diagnosed with the disease recently.

The hospital's water system tested positive for the Legionella bacteria, the spokeswoman said.
