Abstract
Two patients with cavitary pneumonia caused by Legionella pneumophila were followed by several months. Both patients had positive sputum cultures for L. pneumophila; one patient had positive respiratory tract cultures for 18 days after initiation of erythromycin. Slow resolution of the cavities occurred in both patients after 1 to 2 months of antimicrobial therapy.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
