Legionnaires Disease Lawyer Investigating Highbridge Legionnaires Outbreak in Bronx
BRONX, N.Y., May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Legionnaires disease Lawyer Jory Lange is currently investigating cases in the Bronx Legionnaires' Outbreak. Nineteen people have been diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease since May 3, 2022. One person has died, and 8 people are currently hospitalized. The Health Department has sampled the cooling towers in the area. Four cooling towers tested positive for the presence of Legionella.
Those who are linked to this outbreak developed Legionnaires' disease after breathing water vapors contaminated with dangerous legionella pathogen. "The fact that invisible water vapor from a cooling tower can carry deadly pathogens like Legionella, and can cause so many hospitalizations, is alarming," said attorney Jory Lange.
