ABSTRACT:
The authors report the early results of a case-control study carried out
about the risk of Legionellosis. During the first year, they have tested
urine samples from patients with unknown pneumonia, using a
legionella-sensitive test for the detection of its antigen. Out of 171
samples, 9 have turned out to be positive (5.3%). Lifestyles, predisposing
factors, possible sources of infection and stressful events were
investigated.
