Abstract
A national survey of state epidemiologists sought information on reported outbreaks of illness associated with non-residential whirlpool spas for the period April 1972-July 1, 1982. Reports were received from 49 states. Of the 74 whirlpool-associated outbreaks reported, 72 were characterized as having patients with papular or pustular rash and two were associated with cases of Pontiac fever.
