BOSTON (WHDH) - Health officials are searching for the source after a confirmed case of Legionnaires’ Disease in Boston.
The Department of Veteran’s Affairs is trying to figure out if the patient who contracted the disease caught it while staying at one of three VA hospitals in the area.
Test results may take up to two weeks.
Officials say water is tested quarterly at VA hospitals.
Last month, the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease was found in a hotel in Hampton, New Hampshire.
