ABSTRACT
U ovom su članku opisane i sažete strategije i mjere koje bi se trebale primjenjivati u Hrvatskoj u svrhu sprječavanja kontaminacije vodoopskrbnih sustava pojedinih ustanova bakterijom Legionella tijekom pandemije COVID-19. Kolonizacija bakterije Legionella u vodovodnim instalacijama povećava rizik od zaraze ljudi, stoga je važno istaknuti da je ovaj problem javnog zdravstva još veći tijekom drugih epidemija. Legionella može uzrokovati vrlo ozbiljne vrste upale pluća, tzv. legionarsku bolest i manje opasnu pontijačku groznicu. Hrvatska će u svoje zakonodavstvo implementirati izmjenjenu EU Direktivu 2020/2184 o kvaliteti vode za ljudsku potrošnju koja po prvi put uključuje obvezu procjene rizika od bakterije Legionella. To bi trebalo pridonijeti u smanjenju zdravstvenih rizika ili komplikacija respiratornih infekcija (teške upale pluća) i smrtnosti tijekom drugih epidemija (COVID-19 ili sl.).Alternate abstractThis paper describes and summarizes the strategies and measures that should be applied in Croatia toprevent Legionella contamination in drinking water systems in buildings during the COVID-19 epidemic. Legionellacolonisation in drinking water installations increases the risk of infection for humans and it is important to pointout that this public health problem is even greater during other epidemics. Legionella can cause very severe typesof pneumonia called Legionnaires' disease and less serious illness Pontiac fever. Therefore, Croatia will implementthe new EU Directive 2020/2184 on the quality of water intended for human consumption into its legislation, whichfor the first time includes an obligation to assess the risk of Legionella.This should help reduce the health risk orcomplications of respiratory infections (severe pneumonia) and mortality during other epidemics (COVID-19 andsimilar).Alternate abstractIn diesem Beitrag werden die Strategien und Maßnahmen beschrieben undzusammengefasst, die in Kroatien angewendet werden sollen zum Zwecke der Vorbeugung der Kontamination vonWasserversorgungssystemen verschiedener Institutionen mit Legionella-Bakterien während der COVID-19-Pandemie.Die Ansiedlung von Legionella-Bakterien in Wasserinstallationen erhöht das Infektionsrisiko beim Menschen,deswegen ist es wichtig darauf hinzuweisen, dass dieses Problem des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesens noch größerwährend anderer Epidemien ist. Legionellen können sehr schwere Arten von Lungenentzündungen verursachen, diesgn. Legionärskrankheit und das weniger gefährliche Pontiac-Fieber. Kroatien wird durch seine Gesetze die Richtlinie(EU) 2020/2184 über die Qualität von Wasser für den menschlichen Gebrauch umsetzen, die zum ersten Mal dieAnforderung der Risikobewertung eines Versorgungssystems in Bezug auf Legionellen enthält. Das sollte helfen,die Gesundheitsrisiken oder Komplikationen von Atemweginfektionen (schwere Lungenentzündungen)sowie dieSterblichkeit während anderer Epidemien (COVID-19 und ähnliche) zu reduzieren.
