Abstract

Nosocomial Legionella infections are rare in German tertiary care hospitals. However, the impact of intensive prevention measures on the incidence rates of nosocomial Legionella infections remains unclear. Therefore, current practices should be re-evaluated to optimize the use of resources without compromising patient safety.
