Download or read book Management of Legionella in Water Systems written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legionnaires' disease, a pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacterium, is the leading cause of reported waterborne disease outbreaks in the United States. Legionella occur naturally in water from many different environmental sources, but grow rapidly in the warm, stagnant conditions that can be found in engineered water systems such as cooling towers, building plumbing, and hot tubs. Humans are primarily exposed to Legionella through inhalation of contaminated aerosols into the respiratory system. Legionnaires' disease can be fatal, with between 3 and 33 percent of Legionella infections leading to death, and studies show the incidence of Legionnaires' disease in the United States increased five-fold from 2000 to 2017. Management of Legionella in Water Systems reviews the state of science on Legionella contamination of water systems, specifically the ecology and diagnosis. This report explores the process of transmission via water systems, quantification, prevention and control, and policy and training issues that affect the incidence of Legionnaires' disease. It also analyzes existing knowledge gaps and recommends research priorities moving forward.

Download or read book Disinfection by Sodium Hypochlorite written by Claudio Ronco and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sodium hypochlorite has long been recognized for its effectiveness as an antiseptic and disinfectant, but its practical use in medicine had been limited due to its reduced stability. However, it has been shown that the method of manufacture can make the vital difference: The ExSept solutions (Amuchina) discussed in this publication differ from other commercially manufactured solutions insofar as they are produced with the help of electrolysis, the result being a highly effective antimicrobial with very good biocompatibility. The papers in this volume concentrate on the experiences made with ExSept solutions in dialysis applications. They provide a sound understanding of how electrolytically produced sodium hypochlorite solutions differ from other commercial solutions, present different uses as both an antiseptic and disinfectant and alleviate some of the stereotypes associated with their medical use. Both in vitro controlled laboratory evaluations and clinical in vivo prospective randomized trials are introduced in this publication, making it a valuable help for clinicians working in the field of dialysis.
