Legionnaires' Attack in Iruñea

Don't worry, we are not talking about the Legionnaires as in the French Foreign Legion or some military thing like that.

But still, there was a dangerous outbreak of the Legionnaires' Disease in the Basque city of Iruñea earlier today.

Here you have the report:

86 treated for Legionnaire' in Spain

Eighty-six people were being treated Sunday following an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease in the northern city of Pamplona, regional authorities said.

Forty-two people were being treated in three hospitals in the city best known for its popular San Fermin summer bull-running festival. A further 44 were receiving treatment but had been released from the hospital, Navarra regional government's health department said.

Authorities said the disease broke out Friday in a city center district. More than 30 air conditioning systems were inspected in the area and eight are believed to be contaminated with the bacteria that causes the disease.

The health department said none of the affected was in serious condition.

Legionnaires' disease, a pneumonia-like respiratory illness, usually causes high fever, chills and a cough, though some victims also experience muscle aches, headaches and diarrhea.

The illness is called Legionnaires' disease because it was first reported at an American Legion convention in 1976 in Philadelphia, where it killed 34 people.
