Legionella Pneumonia Complicating Wegener's Granulomatosis

Chest, 1988
We describe a previously healthy man who presented with features consistent with Wegener's granulomatosis. While undergoing investigation, he developed acute respiratory failure, thought to represent progression of his vasculitis. Open lung and sinus biopsies were performed to obtain the diagnosis. Vasculitis was confirmed on the paranasasl biopsy, and

Legionella feeleii pneumonia and pericarditis

Pancreatic involvement in Legionella pneumonia

Infection, 2015
Legionella-associated pancreatitis has been rarely reported. Since this condition is very rarely suspected and investigated in patients with Legionella pneumonia, its incidence is probably underestimated. Here we report a case of Legionella pneumonia-associated pancreatitis and review the relevant related literature.
