Other cases were traced to saunas:
Legionellosis, fatal, sauna-related - Netherlands(02) 19980202.0209
Legionella advisory, spa - Netherlands 19990404.0546
In the absence of a mist machine, fountain or sauna at that street
corner, the most likely source would be a cooling tower on top of a
nearby building. - Mod.JW
