Severe Sepsis With Septic Shock as a Consequence of a Severe Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia Resulting From Legionella Pneumophila in Children: A Case Series and Literature Review

2020-12-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>BackgroundLegionella pneumophila is responsible for hospital or community-acquired pneumonia in adults. Immunocompromised patients with Legionella pneumophila infection are associated with rapidly severe clinical course and high mortality rates. Legionella pneumophila infection is rare in children, especially combined with extrapulmonary manifestations. In this report, we describe 2 chi...
