Michigan state health officials confirmed Friday that the number of fatal Legionnaire's disease infections associated with contaminated water in Flint has grown to 10, according to an mLive report.
The number of fatal infections grew after the state's health department conducted a comprehensive review of all Legionnaire's infections in Michigan. Additionally, 88 non-fatal infection cases have been reported. Of those individuals, 35 percent received Flint water in their homes and about another 30 percent had no connection to the Flint River water system, according to mLive.
