Legionella pneumophila Pneumonia Successfully Treated with Intravenous Ciprofloxacin

- 論文の詳細を見る
A 69-year-old man developed a cough and fever during treatment with corticosteroid (P.O and external use) for erythroderma. Chest X-ray films revealed a consolidation shadow in the right upper lung field. Initial treatment with sulbactam sodium/ampicillin followed by imipenem/cilastatin was not effective. A urinary antigen test for Legionella was positive, making for a diagnosis of Legionella pneumonia. Intravenous treatment with ciprofloxacin (CPFX) was remarkably effective. His symptoms, chest X-ray and laboratory data rapidly improved after its initiation. Our findings strongly suggest that intravenous treatment with fluoroquinolones including CPFX should also be a first choice for Legionella pneumonia in Japan.(Internal Medicine 41: 1024-1028, 2002)
