A 58-year-old Kowloon City man has been hospitalised for Legionnaires' disease, the Centre for Health Protection said today.

The diabetic with hypertension came down with fatigue, a runny nose, a cough and muscle pain on February 15. He was admitted to Kwong Wah Hospital two days later and is stable.

This is the fourth case of Legionnaires' disease this year, while 37 cases were reported last year.
