Multiple Choice

Legionellosis is not normally transmitted from person to person.

The main concept is how Legionella is transmitted. Legionellosis spreads mainly through inhalation of aerosolized water containing the bacteria from environmental sources such as showers, cooling towers, hot tubs, humidifiers, and other parts of building water systems. It is not transmitted through direct person-to-person contact, and there’s no routine person-to-person spread. So the statement that Legionellosis is not normally transmitted from person to person reflects the real transmission pattern. In settings like funeral homes, attention to water sources and minimizing aerosol exposure helps reduce risk.
