SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - A 13th person has come down with Legionnaires' disease and health officials say the bacteria that causes the deadly respiratory ailment has been found at a second location, a Syracuse nursing home.



Investigators searching for the source of the outbreak discovered the Legionella bacteria that causes the illness in the water system of the 526-bed Van Duyn Home and Hospital, said Gary Sauda, the Onondaga County director of environmental health.



Legionnaires' is a severe form of pneumonia. People become infected by inhaling airborne water droplets that contain the bacteria. It can be fatal if left untreated.



So far one person has died since the outbreak began June 30, although health officials said they have not yet confirmed Legionnaires' was the cause of the person's death.
