Duas pessoas morreram e outras 72 foram infectadas durante um surto de doença dos legionários registrado no bairro do Upper East Side, em Manhattan, informou neste sábado (19) o Departamento de Saúde de Nova York.
Embora seja considerada uma infecção relativamente rara, a doença pode provocar um quadro grave de pneumonia e exige tratamento rápido, principalmente em pessoas mais vulneráveis.
As autoridades de saúde ainda investigam a origem da contaminação. Segundo o órgão, o número de novos casos vem caindo nos últimos dias, o que sugere que a principal fonte de exposição à bactéria Legionella pode já ter sido eliminada.
O episódio ocorre menos de um ano após outro grande surto na cidade. Em 2025, mais de 100 pessoas adoeceram e sete morreram no Harlem, também em Manhattan.

Bactéria se espalha pela água
A doença dos legionários é causada pela bactéria Legionella, encontrada naturalmente em ambientes aquáticos. O problema surge quando ela encontra condições favoráveis para se multiplicar em sistemas artificiais de água, especialmente aqueles com água morna e parada.
É por isso que as investigações costumam se concentrar em torres de resfriamento de edifícios, sistemas de ar-condicionado central, redes hidráulicas, reservatórios, spas e fontes ornamentais.
A infecção acontece quando a pessoa inala pequenas gotículas de água contaminada que ficam suspensas no ar. Diferentemente de outras pneumonias, a doença não é transmitida de uma pessoa para outra nem pelo consumo de água.
No surto atual, equipes do Departamento de Saúde vêm coletando amostras em torres de resfriamento da região afetada. Os proprietários dos edifícios onde a bactéria foi identificada foram orientados a esvaziar, limpar e desinfetar os equipamentos para impedir novas contaminações.
Infecção pode evoluir para quadro grave
Depois de inaladas, as bactérias chegam aos pulmões e provocam uma infecção conhecida como doença dos legionários, considerada a manifestação mais grave da legionelose.
Os sintomas costumam aparecer entre dois e dez dias após a exposição e incluem:
febre alta;
tosse;
falta de ar;
dores musculares;
dor de cabeça;
cansaço intenso.
Alguns pacientes também podem apresentar diarreia, náuseas, confusão mental e alterações do estado de consciência.
O tratamento é feito com antibióticos e costuma ser mais eficaz quando iniciado precocemente.
Segundo os Centros de Controle e Prevenção de Doenças (CDC) dos Estados Unidos, cerca de 10% das pessoas diagnosticadas com a doença morrem em decorrência de complicações.
Embora qualquer pessoa possa desenvolver a infecção, o risco de formas graves é maior entre idosos, fumantes, pessoas com doenças pulmonares crônicas, diabetes, insuficiência renal, câncer ou condições que enfraquecem o sistema imunológico, como pacientes transplantados.
Já pessoas jovens e saudáveis tendem a apresentar menor risco de complicações.
Forma de prevenção
Como a bactéria se prolifera em equipamentos que utilizam água, a principal estratégia para evitar surtos é a manutenção periódica desses sistemas.
Torres de resfriamento de grandes edifícios, por exemplo, precisam passar por limpeza, desinfecção e monitoramento constantes para impedir a multiplicação da Legionella. Quando um surto é identificado, autoridades sanitárias costumam inspecionar esses equipamentos e determinar a descontaminação das estruturas onde a bactéria é encontrada.
Em Nova York, a investigação continua para identificar exatamente onde ocorreu a exposição. Enquanto isso, a queda no número de novos casos indica que as medidas adotadas podem ter interrompido a circulação da bactéria na região afetada.

Feyi-Waboso gives England more bite but there is no ignoring elephant in the room
Returning world-beater has made real difference but Fin Smith laments continuing ill discipline after Argentina win
The most impressive analysis of England’s fluctuating July fortunes, as is so often the case nowadays, came from their fly-half Fin Smith. Where others choose to obfuscate, deflect or shoot the messenger, the admirably clear‑eyed Smith prefers to tell it as it is. And at the end of a long, draining season, his view is that England are still frustratingly short of where they need to be.
Yes, they beat Argentina 31‑24 on Saturday in a turbulent game containing eight tries and the tightest of finishes. It means they have claimed back-to-back Test wins for the first time since November and, in Manny Feyi-Waboso, they have a genuine world-beater. Equally, though, there can be no ignoring the bright yellow elephant in the dressing room. Four more yellow cards has taken England’s tally to 14 in 10 games this year, a habit they still seem unable to break.

Scientists studied found flies rebuild their biological clock into a separate seasonal mode
In a fascinating discovery, scientists have found that fruit flies adapt their internal biological clocks to survive winter by employing a genetic mechanism known as the winter lock. This adaptation allows them to remain inactive until warmer weather arrives, showcasing a seasonal shift in their molecular structure. These insights not only open avenues for innovative pest control strategies but also enhance our understanding of seasonal variations in human health issues.

World Cup 2026: Spain v Argentina final buildup, security stepped up with Trump attendance – live

Watching England against France – though, of course, defensive intensity was lower – it was still noticeable how dangerous Saka and Marcus Rashford were on the counter. Had Tuchel sent them on against Argentina soon after England scored, Lionel Scaolini’s men would’ve had to respect it and might well have feared it, forced, at the very least, to leave defenders back to mark them, while their own team would’ve had out-balls and a serious threat, meaning when they cleared their lines, it wouldn’t have simply been to face yet another attack.
It find it strange that, given his team struggled for control and also to break down tight defences, Tuchel didn’t give Mainoo a single second on the pitch – and seemed to have decided as much by the Panama game, when he brought on Henderson in preference. England desperately lacked midfield balance, control, poise and craft, a problem that eventually cost them – and is the main reason I’d have given them little chance of beating Spain had they made the final. Anderson and Rice are fine players, but given Bellingham is essential, I’d want only one, with the trio completed by a more technical and cerebral type – which needn’t be Mainoo, he was just the only one in the squad.

Second person dies in legionnaires’ disease outbreak in New York City
Outbreak has sickened dozens in the city but officials say they believe source of outbreak ‘has likely been eliminated’
A second person has died amid a legionnaires’ disease outbreak that has sickened dozens of people in New York City, according to officials, who also say there is evidence that the source of the outbreak “has likely been eliminated”.
New York City’s health department served notice of the second death in a statement on Saturday. The statement didn’t have any information about that person’s identity, age, or details on when and how they fell ill, as was the case when city officials on Friday announced the first death in the outbreak on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
