Legionnaires' disease presenting with empyema.
Abstract
Legionnaire's disease presenting as empyema has not been previously described, although pleural effusions are not uncommon. A 56-year-old woman had a ten-day history of pleuritic chest pain and a large loculated empyema. Legionnaires' disease was documented by serum indirect fluorescent antibody studies.
