Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing Reveals Co-Infection with Legionella pneumophila and Anaerobic Bacteria in a Patient with Severe Pneumonia and Lemierre's Syndrome: A Case Report

2024-02-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Legionella pneumonia is one of the most severe types of atypical pneumonia, impairing multiple organ systems, posing a threat to life. Diagnosing Legionella pneumonia is challenging due to difficulties in culturing the bacteria and limitations in immunoassay sensitivity and specificity. Case presentation: This paper reports a rare case of sepsis caused by combined infection with Legionella p...
