Abstract
Background : Legionella pneumophila has been recognized as an important cause of community-acquired pneumonia(CAP) requiring hospitalization. However, epidemiological data on the occurrence of legionella-related pneumonia is unavailable in Korea. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the etiological importance of legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 in patients hospitalized with CAP. Method : The CAP patients over 16 year-old were recruited from July 1999 to June 2000 at the Chunchon Sacred Heart Hospital. Fifty four patients (male 29, female 25, average age
연구배경 : 국내의 지역사회획득 폐렴 원인균에 대한 연구가 부족하며, 특히 레지오넬라 폐렴균은 중증환자에서 중요한 원인균임을 고려할 때 이에 대한 연구가 시급하다.
