From Investigating a Case of Cellulitis to Exploring Nosocomial Infection Control of ST1 <em>Legionella pneumophila</em> Using Genomic Approaches

2024-04-02

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila can cause a large panel of symptoms beside the classic pneumonia presentation. We present here a case of fatal nosocomial cellulitis in an immunocompromised patient followed, a year later, by a second case of legionnaires’ disease in the same ward. While the first one was easily assumed as nosocomial based on the date of symptoms onset, the other case needed to rely on clear typing results t...
