Is this a list? Suggestion

I think much material in this list does not belong here, but in the article on the disease as such. Being quite ignorant of the subject matter, I will no move it myself.--Nø (talk) 12:01, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

retroactively diagnosed

Should this not mention the retroactively diagnosed epidemics alluded to in the main article?

   "1965, at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, which killed 16 persons out of 78 infected was later determined to be Legionnaires' disease."

There was even an outbreak in 1974 at the Stratford Hotel where Legionnaires' was first found. Ben (talk) 04:03, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Citations needed

As far as I can tell, this list has no citations for the basic factual information in its entries, at least none that are systematically visible. I first noticed this in regard to the "Source" column, which presumably is one of the harder facts to ascertain, but it applies to all columns. Many of the claims in the "Notes" column do contain citations, but those that I followed applied just to the particular claim that they followed, as one would expect given their position in the text.

Is there some reason that lists on WP don't need citations? For anyone following this article, please let me know, and any other feedback is greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I can try to learn what is involved in requesting a "Citations needed" tag.

Legionnaire's suspected cause of Argentina pneumonia deaths (BBC)

Legionnaire's suspected cause of Argentina pneumonia deaths

Health officials in Argentina have said that an infectious pneumonia outbreak which killed four people may have been caused by Legionnaire's disease.

Seven other cases have been found, most at a clinic in the northern province of Tucuman where the deaths occurred.

...

Doctors trying to determine the cause of the flu-like symptoms ruled out Covid-19, flu and the hantavirus - a severe respiratory disease carried by rodents - after testing the patients in the city of San Miguel de Tucuman.

The symptoms included high fevers, body aches and breathing difficulties.

Officials said the symptoms first appeared in six cases related to the facility which developed between 18 and 23 August.

...

Argentinian Health Minister Carla Vizzotti said on Saturday that the authorities were working to ensure the clinic was safe for all.
