A Milton Keynes man in his 50s required hospital treatment
due to developing Legionnaires’ Disease after a skiing holiday in Austria.
He spent a week at the Bellevue Hotel in Obergurgl in mid
January to celebrate his wife’s birthday. He presented symptoms of diarrhoea,
shortness of breath, confusion and fatigue shortly after the family returned
home. Tests were carried out at a local clinic and confirmed that he had been
infected with legionella bacteria.
He has now taken steps to begin legal proceedings against
the resort.
