The Bronx has another Legionnaires' outbreak
ABC7 hands the mic to a doctor to explain what Legionnaires' does and which symptoms should send you to a clinic.
In brief
ABC7 hands the mic to a doctor to explain what Legionnaires' does and which symptoms should send you to a clinic. If you live in the Bronx and a cough turns into fever and chills, say the word Legionnaires' to a doctor early instead of waiting it out. Originally reported by ABC7 New York.
Another cluster in the Bronx
ABC7 New York led its health segment on September 14, 2026 with the latest Legionnaires' outbreak in the borough.
A doctor takes the mic
ABC News medical correspondent Dr. Darien Sutton walks viewers through the disease himself, rather than leaving it to a health department statement.
“ABC News Medical Correspondent Dr. Darien Sutton explains the symptoms.”
Symptoms are the whole point
The segment centers on what Legionnaires' actually feels like, because recognizing it early is the part that changes how the illness ends.
The word latest is doing work
This is framed as the newest outbreak, not the first. Repeat clusters are why a Bronx Legionnaires' case gets citywide airtime at all.
Watch it, then call someone
The explainer runs as video on ABC7. If your symptoms line up, that is a reason to phone a doctor, not a reason to self diagnose from a list.
The key point
If you live in the Bronx and a cough turns into fever and chills, say the word Legionnaires' to a doctor early instead of waiting it out.
