Abstract |
The authors describe two cases of Legionnaires disease brought to their attention and diagnosed through serological research utilizing two different methods: the indirect immunofluorescence and the microagglutination, in cooperation with the Higher Institute of Health. They conclude with some considerations upon the real necessity of circumscribed eziological research in all the cases of "hospitalized acute respiratory illness" and confirm the effectiveness of the treatment with macrolides in the Legionella Pneumophila infections.
