The cases of 8 heart transplant recipients with legionnaires' disease are reviewed. The diagnosis in each patient was made by fluorescent antibody stains or direct culture of the sputum, transtracheal aspirate, or fine needle aspirate of the lung. All patients were successfully treated with erythromycin alone or in combination with rifampin. Radiographic and clinical variations of legionnaires' disease as seen in the immunocompromised host are presented.
