Abstract

Lejyonelloz vakalarının çoğunu Legionella pneumophila oluşturmasına rağmen son yıllarda dünya genelinde Legionella longbeachae enfeksiyon olgularında artış yaşanmaktadır. Bu etken standart mikrobiyolojik kültürlerde üretilemez ve lejyonellozun tanısında sıklıkla kullanılan idrarda antijen testi ile pozitif sonuç elde edilemez. Artan vaka sayısı hastalık farkındalığı, moleküler yöntemlere veya iklim değişikliğine bağlı olabilir.

Legionella longbeachae Infections

Abstract

Although Legionella pneumophila constitutes most of the legionellosis cases, there has been an increase in Legionella longbeachae infection cases worldwide in recent years. This agent cannot be produced in standard microbiological cultures and a positive result cannot be obtained with the urine antigen test, which is frequently used in the diagnosis of legionellosis. The increased number of cases may be due to disease awareness, molecular methods or climate change.
