Scientists convene in Atlanta to hunt Legionnaires cure
More than 500 scientists from about 30 countries gather in Atlanta for a three day international symposium at the Center for Disease Control to search for a cure for Legionnaires disease first highlighted after a 1976 American Legion convention. CDC Director Dr William Foege says the illness is caused by a novel bacterium with unique laboratory and animal behavior and genetic structure. The event is sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the World Health Organization and includes Soviet representatives among attendees.
