The current histopathological aspects of legionnaires' disease, a newly discovered acute feverish disease accompanied by severe rapidly progressive pneumonias with 20% mortality are reviewed. Epidemic and sporadic cases of legionnaires' disease occurred both in the United States and many countries of Europe. The gross and microscopic pathology of autopsy specimens from patients with legionnaires' disease and pathological findings in guinea pigs inoculated intraperitoneally with Legionella pneumophilla are discussed. Some methods for isolation of specimens for laboratory diagnosis in severe pneumonias suspect for legionnaires' disease are recommended.
本文综述了军团病的当前组织病理学特征。军团病是一种新发现的急性发热性疾病，伴有严重的快速进展性肺炎，死亡率达20%。美国和欧洲许多国家均出现过军团病的流行和散发病例。文中讨论了军团病患者尸检标本的大体和显微镜下病理学表现，以及豚鼠腹腔接种嗜肺军团菌后的病理结果。还推荐了一些针对疑似军团病的严重肺炎患者进行实验室诊断时的标本采集方法。
