P H Edelstein, R D Meyer, S M Finegold.   

Abstract

Two patients with cavitary pneumonia caused by Legionella pneumophila were followed by several months. Both patients had positive sputum cultures for L. pneumophila; one patient had positive respiratory tract cultures for 18 days after initiation of erythromycin. Slow resolution of the cavities occurred in both patients after 1 to 2 months of antimicrobial therapy.
