Human susceptibility to legionnaires' disease.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) - 1 Jan 2013

Berrington William R, Hawn Thomas R

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila is a facultative intracellular pathogen that is an important cause of pneumonia. Although host factors that may predispose to acquisition of Legionnaire's Disease (LD) include comorbid illnesses (e.g., diabetes, chronic lung disease), age, male sex, and smoking, many individuals have no identifiable risk factors. Some studies suggest that genetic factors may enhance susceptibility to LD. In...
