We present a patient with myalgia and ongoing fever without respiratory symptoms caused by a Legionella pneumophilia infection. We conclude that in patients with fever of unknown origin legionellosis should be considered, even in the absence of pulmonary symptoms. When considering legionellosis, diagnostic tests should include the urinary antigen test.
我们报告了一例由嗜肺军团菌感染引起的无呼吸道症状但伴有肌痛和持续发热的患者。我们得出结论，对于不明原因发热的患者，即使没有肺部症状，也应考虑军团菌病。在考虑军团菌病时，诊断测试应包括尿抗原检测。
