질병관리청은 레지오넬라증 예방을 위해 지역별 다중이용시설의 환경 수계시설 검사에 관한 총괄적인 관리를 하고 있다. 2021년 전국적으로 3,956개 시설에 대한 환경 검사가 계획되었으나, 2,731(75.9%)개의 시설에서 환경 검사가 시행되었다. 2020년 환경 검사 시설 2,306개보다 425개의 시설이 추가로 검사되었다. 전체 검사 수행률은 75.9%이며, 특히 울산(107.4%), 세종(100%)에서 상대적으로 높은 검사 수행률을 보였다.
질병보건통합관리시스템을 통해 보고된 환경 검사 결과를 분석한 결과, 전국의 447개(16.4%)의 시설에서 레지오넬라균이 검출되었으며 다중이용시설 중 온천, 찜질방, 상급종합병원, 대형목욕탕, 종합병원에서 전체 검출률보다 높게 나타났다.
이에 따라, 2023년 질병관리청 감염병관리과는 국내 레지오넬라증 예방 및 체계적인 관리전략을 도출하고 시설별 레지오넬라 관리 가이드라인을 개발하는 것을 목표로 대한설비공학회(The Society of Air-conditioning and Refrigerating Engineering of Korea, SAREK)와 정책연구용역을 진행하는 등 환경시설에서의 레지오넬라 관리를 위해 관련 부처 및 전문학회와의 지속적인 협력을 추진해 나갈 예정이다.

Abstract
Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) is overseeing comprehensive management of environmental water facilities inspections in various multi-use facilities to prevent legionellosis. In 2021, environmental inspections were planned for 3,956 facilities nationwide, but inspections were carried out in 2,731 facilities (75.9%). An additional 425 facilities were inspected compared to the 2,306 inspected in 2020. The overall inspection completion rate was 75.9%, with notably high inspection rates observed in Ulsan (107.4%) and Sejong (100%).
Analyzing the environmental inspection results reported through the Integrated Disease Control and Management System, legionella bacteria were detected in 447 facilities (16.4%) nationwide. Among multi-use facilities, higher detection rates were observed in hot springs, Korean saunas, tertiary general hospitals, large public baths, and general hospitals compared to the overall detection rate.
The Division of Infectious Disease Control at the KDCA aims to develop domestic strategies for the prevention and systematic management of Legionnaire's disease. Our objective is to collaborate with The Society of Air-conditioning and Refrigerating Engineering of Korea (SAREK) to establish facility-specific Legionella management guidelines and conduct policy research services. We intend to pursue continuous cooperation with relevant government departments and professional societies to enhance the management of Legionella in environmental facilities.
