Travel Trouble With Legionella in the Era of COVID-19: A Case Report.

A 56-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with severe sepsis secondary to pneumonia. His presentation was challenging and confusing due to the accompanying coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection attributed to his travel history and diagnosed via radiological findings. He received dexamethasone with ceftriaxone and azithromycin. Despite the fact he was on appropriate antibiotics, his condition worsened, and he was eventually diagnosed with Legionella pneumonia, which was thought to be resistant to macrolides. His condition improved significantly when antibiotics were switched to levofloxacin. It is important to keep in mind other causes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) during the ongoing COVID-19 era. What makes this case unique is that it presented a confusing scenario due to the patient's concurrent COVID-19 infection and his failure to improve with the administration of azithromycin.
