[Legionnaires' disease with late pulmonary sequelae. Apropos of a case]

The authors report a case of legionnaires' disease with retractile late sequelae affecting the lingula and the dorsal segment of the culmen. They stress the need for appropriate and prolonged treatment because of the possible presence of intracellular Legionella pneumophila. The existence of an associated staphylococcal infection is also one of the hypotheses raised in explaining such sequelae.
