Two cases of Legionnaire’s disease have been reported at Quincy, Illinois veteran’s home.
An Illinois Department of Veteran Affairs spokesman says that one resident has died last week, but the death was likely due to other factors. The other resident is recovering.
The bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease grow in warm water and are often present in water supplies.
Two years ago, an outbreak of the disease at the same facility killed 12 people and sickened 54.
