Legionnaires' case man released

Health officials are waiting for the results of tests for the disease

A man who contracted Legionnaires' Disease after staying at a Highland hotel has been released from hospital.

NHS Highland officials have been meeting again in their efforts to pin down the source of the outbreak.

The condition has affected three people who had either visited or stayed at the Mackay's Hotel in Strathpeffer. It remains closed.

No link with the hotel has been made at this stage with a fourth case of Legionnaire's Disease.

The patients are being treated in hospitals in Stirling, Glasgow and Inverness.

Lab tests

The 60-year-old who was from the Glasgow area has been released from the city's Western Infirmary.

Health officials from NHS Highland's outbreak control team have met for the fourth time.

They have already established a link between three of the cases of Legionnaire' Disease.

NHS Highland said it was waiting for the results of samples taken from the water supply system at the hotel which were sent for laboratory testing.
