| Core Tip |
Legionella pneumophila is a gram-negative bacillus known as a common cause of pneumonia, with frequent parapneumonic pleural effusion. In contrast, pleural empyema seems very uncommon. We report here the case of an 81-year-old man with multiple comorbidities who presented with a large left pleural effusion. Despite wide antibiotic courses against extracellular bacteria associated to surgical thoracentesis, patient died of uncontrolled septic shock. L. pneumophila serogroup 1 was isolated from the surgical pleural liquid sample, consistent with a pleural localization of Legionnaire’s disease. We therefore would emphasize that L. pneumophila is an exceptional cause of pleural empyema in patients with multiple risk factors. |
