Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Cardiology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Legionella typically causes pneumonia but can be implicated in culture-negative endocarditis, particularly involving prosthetic heart valves.
  • Legionella prosthetic valve endocarditis is usually caused by Legionella pneumophila and clinically resembles other forms of the condition.
  • Diagnosis relies on organism detection in blood or valve tissue, or significantly elevated Legionella titers.
