A Melbourne office worker is in a critical condition in hospital after contracting legionnaires’ disease.

The Victorian Health Department confirmed it was investigating but said, so far, there were no other reported cases.

The woman works in an office building at 501 Swanston Street in the CBD, but it has not yet been confirmed where she contracted the disease.

Legionnaires’ disease is a serious and sometimes fatal form of pneumonia.
