Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in Gloucester, U.K., is investigating an incident of legionella infection in its dialysis unit, according to an article on the Gloucestershire Live website.
There are no other patients affected and the hospital says remedial work and enhanced control measures have removed any possible risk of infection to patients, visitors and staff in the unit.
The incident is not believed to be related to any lapse in its control measures, and the trust which manages the hospital says it has thorough systems for water safety and quality.
But the review will consider whether control measures and monitoring need to be strengthened in the light of this incident.
