Legionnaires' disease and pulmonary histoplasmosis are important causes of community-acquired pneumonia. Environmental reservoirs remain the primary source of infection and may persist since investigations are often reserved for large outbreaks. Our case highlights a source of both legionella and histoplasmosis not previously reported. It demonstrates the value of taking a thorough history while recognizing non-traditional sources of both infections.
军团菌病和肺组织胞浆菌病是社区获得性肺炎的重要病因。环境储源仍是主要感染源,且可能持续存在,因为调查往往仅针对大规模疫情。我们的病例突出了一个此前未报告过的军团菌和组织胞浆菌病的来源。它证明了在认识到这两种感染的非传统来源时详细询问病史的价值。
