Nodular Legionnaire disease [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1981
Legionnaire disease is now recognized to be an acute bacterial pneumonitis caused by the fastidious, Gram-negative bacillus Legionella pneumophila. In a review of 35 cases, Kirby et al. [1 ] reported that all patients had pulmonary infiltrates nadiographically at some time in their course with pleural effusion in most cases.

The Contribution of Chemistry to the Detection and Enumeration of Legionella pneumophila in Environmental Water Samples: Experience With the MICA Method

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Legionella pneumophila is the principal species responsible for Legionnaires' disease, and measuring microbial load is fundamental to the analysis of environmental water samples. This study compared a new lipopolysaccharide bioprobe method (Microcolony Counter Analysis), which detects and counts L.

Nanobodies: A Promising Toolkit for Diagnostic Applications

SmartMat, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review focuses on camelid‐derived nanobodies (VHHs) and explains how their small size and high stability support robust diagnostic design. Applications across ELISA, lateral flow assays, and PET/SPECT imaging are summarized, along with clinical progress such as caplacizumab.

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Triggered by Legionella pneumophila and SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection in GATA2 Deficiency

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Germline GATA2 deficiency predisposes to bone marrow failure, myeloid neoplasia, and immune dysregulation. The syndrome is often complicated by infection with intracellular pathogens and viruses, autoimmunity, and inflammation. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare occurrence that can present further management challenges.

Balancing Building Water Conservation and Microbial Water Quality

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Flow restrictors are widely used to improve water efficiency by limiting flow rates in faucets and showerheads. While these devices contribute to significant reductions in water consumption and associated energy costs, they may also pose unintended risks to microbial water quality. In healthcare and other high‐risk settings, reduced flow rates

A multi‐centre qualitative study of experiences of managing diabetes mellitus among adults while hospitalised

Diabetic Medicine, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Aims One in six hospital beds across England is occupied by someone with diabetes. While guidance on inpatient diabetes care is available, national audit data demonstrate that people still experience significant and avoidable diabetes‐related harms. This study is unique in exploring how people with diabetes admitted to hospital for any medical
