Iowa City VA patients not told about bacteria problem

Legionella bacteria can cause Legionnaires' disease, a dangerous type of pneumonia. VA administrators confirmed to the Register that they've found the bacteria in several sinks and other water outlets in the past few years. But they said they've been able to control the problem, and they have not seen the need to cause alarm by telling patients.
