Paola Borella et al. Scand J Infect Dis. 2006.

Abstract

We report a case of Legionella pneumonia in a patient with psoriasis. The clinical strain had an identical PFGE pattern of 1 subtype of L. pneumophila serogroup 1 isolated at low concentration in a sporting club bath. Diagnostic, clinical and epidemiological aspects are discussed for their relevant public health implications.
