Pirbright worker contracts legionnaires' disease - Guardian
Extract:
"A worker at the government research facility in Pirbright that is at the centre of the foot and mouth outbreak has contracted legionnaires' disease, with officials saying the lab is a possible source of contamination, Guardian Unlimited can reveal.
The Health Protection Agency confirmed there had been a reported case of legionnaires' disease "with alleged links to the Institute of Animal Health at Pirbright, in Surrey".
Environmental health inspectors took water samples from the facility today. At this stage, it is unclear whether the IAH employee contracted legionnaires' disease at the lab."
