A fatal case of Legionnaires' disease caused by Legionella jamestowniensis is reported in a severely immunocompromised patient with metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver and kidney transplants. L. jamestowniensis was cultured from two separate respiratory tract specimens and a PCR test for Legionella species was also positive from the same specimens. This is apparently the first reported case of human infection caused by L. jamestowniensis.
本文报道了一例由詹姆斯敦军团菌引起的退伍军人病死亡病例，患者为患有转移性肝细胞癌且接受了肝肾移植的严重免疫功能低下者。从两份不同的呼吸道标本中培养出了詹姆斯敦军团菌，并且对相同标本进行的军团菌属PCR检测也呈阳性。这显然是首例报道的由詹姆斯敦军团菌引起的人类感染病例。
