Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Neurologic manifestations are common in Legionnaires' disease.
  • Polyneuropathy is a less frequent neurological complication.

Observation:

  • A case of severe Legionnaires' disease in a 41-year-old woman is presented.
  • The patient developed polyneuropathy in both legs after prolonged intensive care unit stay.

Findings:

  • Electromyography (EMG) confirmed severe polyneuropathy.
  • Symptoms persisted for at least nine months post-infection.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare but severe neurologic complication of Legionnaires' disease.
  • Understanding the pathogenesis of post-infectious polyneuropathy is crucial for patient management.
