Abstract
A case-control study of three cases of Legionella pneumophila pneumonia identified transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as a risk factor. Patient isolates and environmental strains from water used for rinsing TEE probes were identical by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. This is the first report of endoscopy as a potential source of legionellosis.
摘要
一项针对三例嗜肺军团菌肺炎病例的病例对照研究将经食管超声心动图（TEE）确定为一个风险因素。通过脉冲场凝胶电泳发现，患者分离株与用于冲洗TEE探头的水中的环境菌株相同。这是关于内镜检查作为军团病潜在来源的首次报告。
