Legionella pneumophila pneumonia with rhabdomyolysis and myocarditis diagnosed by paired bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood metagenomic sequencing: a case report

2026-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background</bold> Legionella pneumophila pneumonia may be missed when extrapulmonary manifestations dominate the early clinical picture. Rhabdomyolysis and myocarditis are uncommon but serious complications that may be overlooked. In patients whose early manifestations are dominated by extrapulmonary abnormalities, paired respiratory and blood metagenomic sequencing may help li...
