A community outbreak of Legionnaires' disease: evidence of a cooling tower as the source  M. Sabria, J. Alvarez, A. Dominguez, A. Pedrol, G. Sauca, L. Salleras, A. Lopez, M.A. Garcia-Nuñez, I. Parron, M.P. Barrufet  Clinical Microbiology and Infection  Volume 12, Issue 7, Pages 642-647 (July 2006) DOI: 10.1111/j.1469-0691.2006.01447.x Copyright © 2006 European Society of Clinical Infectious Diseases Terms and Conditions

Fig. 1 Epidemic curve showing the date of onset of symptoms. Arrow 1, day of detection of outbreak (9 August); arrow 2, day of detection of the likely source of the outbreak (16 August). The white bar on day 10 indicates the two patients who died during the outbreak.
