AB  - Pontiac fever and Legionnaires' disease are regarded as clinically and 
      epidemiologically distinct diseases, caused by bacteria of the genus Legionella. 
      Although several outbreaks of either Pontiac fever or Legionnaires' disease have 
      been reported, they are rarely seen simultaneously. In this report we describe 
      such a simultaneous outbreak of Pontiac fever and Legionnaires' disease that 
      occurred in the Netherlands. In August 2009, 1 patient with Legionnaires' disease 
      and 3 patients with Pontiac fever, all from a single family, were reported to the 
      Municipal Health Service. All family members had been exposed to the private 
      whirlpool spa in the garden of their home. A sampling investigation by the 
      Legionella Source Identification Unit (LSIU) showed that a sample from the 
      whirlpool spa, as well as a sample from the garden shower and 2 samples from a 
      garden hose were positive for Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1, and genotyping 
      results indicated the AFLP-type 004 Lyon (ST47) to be present in these samples.
