| Abstract;A 56-year-old man was referred to our division for further examination of chest abnormal shadow on a chest X-ray. Chest radiograph showed marked infiltrative shadow in right lung field. Because polymerase chain reaction against Legionella and Legionella antigen in urine were positive, a diagnosis of Legionella pneumonia was made. He was treated with pazufloxacin and the infiltrative shadow in right lung field on a chest X-ray was markedly improved. Our case shows that pazufloxacin might be a useful tool for the patients suffering from Legionella pneumonia. (author abst.) |
