In the presented article there was executed a retrospective analysis of legionellosis in the Russian Federation for the period of its official registration. Currently, the prevalence rate of legionellosis in Russia is 0.01 per 100 thousand of the population, while in Europe and the United States this figure is 1.1-1.2 per 100 thousand of the population.
