Abstract

Legionella longbeachae was first described and characterized in 1981. We report the first probable case of L. longbeachae infection in Sweden. A previously healthy, 50-year-old greenhouse repairman fell ill with severe pneumonia and acute pancreatitis. The L. longbeachae type 1 IgG titer (indirect immunofluorescence) was 256 and decreased significantly with erythromycin treatment. Attempts to isolate the microorganism from the environment failed. Sera from the patient's colleagues and from blood donors all had antibody titers of less than 32.

摘要

长滩军团菌于1981年首次被描述和鉴定。我们报告了瑞典首例可能由长滩军团菌感染引起的病例。一名此前健康的50岁温室修理工患上了严重肺炎和急性胰腺炎。长滩军团菌1型IgG滴度（间接免疫荧光法）为256，经红霉素治疗后显著下降。从环境中分离该微生物的尝试未成功。患者同事和献血者的血清抗体滴度均低于32。
