Legionnaires' disease. Clinical and pulmonary histopathologic features of a sporadic case

ME Westley, R Yesner and DJ Pierson

These changes are not those seen with typical bacterial pneumonia but are similar to changes seen when viruses, rickettsiae, chlamydiae, or Mycoplasma pneumoniae organisms are the infecting agents.
