Franklin County Legionnaires’ Disease Update | Honolulu News
Description
Franklin County’s Legionnaires’ disease cases are spiking—health officials are racing to find a common source but haven’t yet, while reassuring the public that normal water use is safe. The bacterial pneumonia, spread only through contaminated water mist—not person-to-person—can be treated with antibiotics and most diagnosed patients are recovering. Experts urge cleaning water-using devices like humidifiers and CPAP machines, and warn: if you’re experiencing symptoms, see a doctor immediately. Risk remains low for the general public.
