A very rare case of pulmonary coinfection in a double kidney transplanted man affected by the chronic renal disease is described. Cases of Legionnaires' disease with an incubation period of 14 days have rarely been documented. Despite the long period of hospitalization, typing of clinical and environmental strains demonstrated that the patient's home water distribution system was the source of infection, highlighting that house contamination can be a hidden risk, especially for immune-compromised people.
本文描述了一例极为罕见的病例,一名患有慢性肾病的双肾移植男性发生了肺部合并感染。潜伏期为14天的军团病病例鲜有记录。尽管患者住院时间很长,但对临床菌株和环境菌株的分型显示,患者家中的供水系统是感染源,这突出表明家庭污染可能是一个潜在风险,尤其是对免疫功能低下的人群而言。
