Abstract
Four pneumonic episodes, always located in the upper lobe of the left lung and presenting with identical clinical manifestations and laboratory findings, occurred within 8 months in a 53-year-old man. The diagnosis of Legionella pneumophila pneumonia was established only during the 4th episode. The treatment with tetracycline was followed by complete recovery.Keywords
