Chest radiographs of 70 patients with Legionnaires' disease were evaluated and compared to the authors' previous series of 24 patients as well as others in the literature. A larger number of patients in the more recent survey had pleural effusion, and there were 3 with cavitation whereas none was seen previously. Analysis of the radiograph showing the most marked changes in survivors versus patients who died showed no consistent pattern, indicating that the radiograph cannot be used as a prognostic indicator. On long-term follow-up (mean, 104.2 days), the radiograph remained abnormal for many months and demonstrated a variety of slowly resolving or permanent abnormalities.
对70例军团病患者的胸部X光片进行了评估，并与作者之前的24例患者系列以及文献中的其他病例进行了比较。在最近的调查中，有更多患者出现胸腔积液，有3例出现空洞形成，而之前未观察到这种情况。对存活患者与死亡患者中X光片变化最明显的进行分析，未发现一致的模式，这表明X光片不能用作预后指标。在长期随访（平均104.2天）中，X光片在许多个月内仍异常，并显示出各种缓慢消退或永久性异常。
