Cases of Legionnaires' disease are on the rise in New York City, with three death reported. Have there been cases of the disease in Louisiana?

New York City health officials are continuing to investigate a cluster of cases of Legionnaires’ disease, a serious bacterial lung infection, that has sickened 73 people and led to three deaths.

The cases are most likely linked to a cooling tower in central Harlem, health officials said. At least 58 people have fallen ill, including two people who have died, from Legionnaires’ disease in New York City over the past several weeks, according to the city’s health department.
