Pontiac fever: isolation of the etiologic agent (Legionella pneumophilia) and demonstration of its mode of transmission.

Pontiac fever, a unique epidemiologic form of legionellosis, is characterized by a short (one- to two-day) incubation period and a self-limited grippe-like illness without pneumonia. In 1968, the first documented outbreak of this syndrome affected persons who had entered a health department building in Pontiac, Michigan. Epidemiologic analyses clearly implicated as airborne agent and suggested that evaporative condenser water aerosols being disseminated by a defective air conditioning system played a key role in the outbreak. Guinea pigs that were exposed in the building and to laboratory aerosols of evaporative condenser water developed bronchopneumonia. Legionella pneumophilia (serogroup 1) was isolated from the exposed guinea pigs' lungs. Paired acute and convalescent serum specimens from 37 patients were tested by the indirect fluorescent antibody technique using L. pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen, and 31 (84%) had rises in titer from less than 32 to greater than or equal to 64.
