This is the first reported LD outbreak in Mexico, where LD is not a reportable disease.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods. \u2003Reports of LD among travelers were solicited from US health departments and the European Working Group for Legionella Infections. Records from the resort and Cozumel Island health facilities were searched for possible LD cases. In April 2010, the resort was searched for possible Legionella exposure sources. The temperature and total chlorine of the water at 38 sites in the resort were measured, and samples from those sites were tested for Legionella.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results. \u2003Nine travelers became ill with laboratory-confirmed LD within 2 weeks of staying at the resort between May 2008 and April 2010. The resort and its potable water system were the only common exposures. No possible LD cases were identified among resort workers. Legionellae were found to have extensively colonized the resort's potable water system. Legionellae matching a case isolate were found in the resort's potable water system.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusions. \u2003Medical providers should test for LD when treating community-acquired pneumonia that is severe or affecting patients who traveled in the 2 weeks before the onset of symptoms. When an LD outbreak is detected, the source should be identified and then aggressively remediated. Because LD can occur in tropical and temperate areas, all countries should consider making LD a reportable disease if they have not already done so.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ofid\/ofw170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,11]],"date-time":"2016-08-11T00:39:10Z","timestamp":1470875950000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Legionnaires'
