An isolated case of Legionnaires' disease occurring in Durban is described. The patient presented with bilateral extensive pneumonia. Diagnosis was made by the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test, which showed a fourfold rise in titre from 1 : 128 to 1 : 512. Awareness of the fact that Legionnaires' disease occurs here should result in early recognition and appropriate management of this disease.
