Legionella pneumophila lung abscess associated with immune suppression.

S D Guy1, L J Worth, K A Thursky, P A Francis, M A Slavin.   

Abstract

Legionella species are a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia, infrequently complicated by cavitary disease. We describe Legionella pneumophila pneumonia and abscess formation in an immunosuppressed patient receiving corticosteroid therapy for metastatic breast carcinoma. The predisposing role of corticosteroids is discussed and the management of this complication is reviewed.
