GUILDERLAND – State health officials confirmed Wednesday that an investigation is underway into a Legionnaires’ disease case concerning a resident of a Guilderland assisted living site that was the site of an outbreak earlier this year.
One resident at the Promenade at University Place on Western Avenue recently took ill, and as a result, clinical and environmental testing is being conducted, said health department spokesman Gary Holmes.
Officials said the tests will help determine if the legionella bacteria is active and confirm whether the one resident contracted Legionnaires’ at the assisted living facility at 1228 Western Avenue.
