A fourth patient at University of Washington Medical Center was infected with Legionella bacteria in the ongoing Legionnaires' disease outbreak at the Seattle-based hospital, according to an article on the Health Sciences News Beat website.
The patient contracted Legionnaires' disease before water restrictions were implemented at the hospital, according to UW officials.
Two of patients who developed Legionnaires' disease in the outbreak have died.
An ice machine and a sink were linked to the outbreak. Patients, visitors and staff are using bottled water to prevent further spread of the bacteria and no one is using drinking fountains, sinks or coffee stands.
