Hong Kong's Record breaking 167 Legionnaires Disease cases in 2025

highest number of cases since records began and beating the last two years!

14/11/2025

After a record 140 cases, the origin of the lethal bacteria responsible for Legionnaires' Disease is a mystery.

We know it thrives in warm, stagnate, man-made water systems yet not one case has been resolved.

CHP reported two more Legionnaires' Disease cases last week, despite the cold weather, taking the total to nine cases so far - worse than the same time last year

Singapore reported one Legionnaires Disease case last week, giving a total of 29 cases so far this year, but HK has 108 more cases so far.

I estimate the incidence rate/100k population. to be around 0.48 and far, far lower than Hong Kong's 1.46/100k population.

新加坡上週報告一例退伍軍人病病例，今年迄今共有 29 宗，但香港迄今已有 108 宗。

我估計了每 10 萬人口的發生率。約 0.48，遠低於香港每 10 萬人口 1.46。
