Abstract:
Legionella jordanis has seldom been reported as a cause of infection in humans. We describe a case of pneumonia due to L. jordanis that occurred in a non-immunocompromised 74-year-old patient and failed to respond to a combination of ceftriaxone and ofloxacin. Cure was achieved only after an erythromycin-rifampin combination was started.
