Abstract

Legionella species other than Legionella pneumophila may cause pneumonias and extrapulmonary infections. Most infections are nosocomial or observed in immunocompromised patients and often remain undiagnosed because of the failure of confirmatory culture methods. The therapy is based on macrolides and fluoroquinolones; rifampin and tetracycline are also used.
