One individual has been hospitalized with Legionnaire's disease and over 100 guests and staff of a four-star hotel in Dundee, Scotland have reported flu-like symptoms. Pontiac fever and Legionnaire’s disease are both caused by Legionella bacteria, but Pontiac fever is milder while Legionnaire’s can be deadly. Many of those reporting flu-like symptoms may have Pontiac fever. Outbreak investigators found Legionella in the hotel’s club. In February, an outbreak of Legionella reportedly originated at the Playboy mansion.
