嗜肺军团菌是需入住ICU的社区获得性肺炎(CAP)患者的一种常见病因。作者曾统计19项研究共6854例 CAP,嗜肺军团菌均处前5位,院内获得性军团菌病则与供水系统受到污染有关。在许多研究中,军团菌肺炎(Lp)的临床表现较其它致病菌所致肺炎更重且死亡率更高。
Legionella pneumophila is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in patients admitted to the ICU. The authors have conducted a total of 6854 CAP studies in 19 studies and the top five Legionella pneumophila in each study. In-hospital Legionnaires’ disease was associated with contamination of the water supply system. In many studies, the clinical manifestations of Legionella pneumonia (Lp) are more severe and have higher mortality than other pathogenic bacteria.
