During a one year period acute pericarditis was diagnosed in 16 consecutive patients without acute infarction or malignancy. In two of these patients with both pericarditis and pneumonia Legionella infection was present. One case was caused by Legionella longbeachae and the other by both Legionella longbeachae and Legionella jordanis. When pericarditis is associated with pneumonia Legionella infection should be sought so that effective treatment with erythromycin may be started early.
在一年时间里，连续16例无急性梗死或恶性肿瘤的患者被诊断为急性心包炎。其中两名同时患有心包炎和肺炎的患者存在军团菌感染。一例由长滩军团菌引起，另一例由长滩军团菌和约旦军团菌共同引起。当心包炎与肺炎相关时，应寻找军团菌感染，以便尽早开始用红霉素进行有效治疗。
