Overview
- Juliet Leith, 58, became severely ill at the TUI BLUE Suite Princess in Playa Taurito and tested positive for Legionnaires’ disease on 26 September 2025.
- She spent 12 days in intensive care, including four in an induced coma, after developing severe pneumonia.
- Following repatriation, she was transferred to Maidstone Hospital and has since been discharged to outpatient care under a respiratory specialist.
- Irwin Mitchell is investigating how she contracted the infection and is asking anyone who fell ill after staying at the hotel to come forward.
- TUI offered sympathy but said it cannot comment because the case is a legal matter, while NHS guidance notes the disease is contracted by inhaling contaminated water droplets.
