In addition, aspiration is more commonly associated with gram-negative pneumonia than with anaerobic infection in the institutionalized elderly population.59 Treatment For ICU-admitted CAP, initial therapy should be directed at DRSP, Legionella species, and other atypical pathogens, enteric gram-negative ...

However, despite the fact that two people died from a Legionella-pneumonia after a dental treatment, it still is discussed whether (contaminated) DUWLs were the source of the Legionella, or that this bacterium had a different origin (Petti, 2016, Petti 2017a, Petti 2017b, Petti & Vitali, ...
Legionella pneumophila d. Pneumocystis carinii How is fever is produced in the body? What is the conventional way to manage fever? Identify what is meant by nosocomial pneumonia and the typical microorganisms and treatments used with that type of infection. Describe how viruses were discovered as ...
Legionella-like and other amoebal pathogens as agents of community-acquired pneumonia. (Dispatches) A new Legionella-like amoebal pathogen (LLAP) was isolated from a hospital cooling tower. THE ONE HUNDRED TENTH MEETING OF THE TENNESSEE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE Nimoy signed off the message "LLAP", whi...
Although such antibiotics were superior in the management of patients later shown to have legionella related pneumonia, this pathogen was rarely responsible for pneumonia within the included trials. 尾 lactam agents should remain the antibiotics of initial choice in adults with non-severe commu...
Legionella pneumophilaMyelodysplastic syndromePost-splenectomyLegionnaire's disease is a cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in normal hosts, but those with impaired cell-mediated immunity (CMI) and T-lymphocyte function are particularly predisposed to Legionella species CAP.

All patients transferred to intensive care (ITU; 3.4%) were screened appropriately for urinary pneumococcal antigen (UPA) and urinary legionella antigen (ULA), with 1 positive UPA result. 6 (of 10) UPA and 7 (of 12) ULA samples appeared to be sent inappropriately for non-ITU patients and ...
The term "atypical pathogens" refers to a variety of organisms, including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Legionella spp., that can cause community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). This designation was developed when investigators realized that some patients with pneumonia had a clinical ...
