title: [Nosocomial Legionnaires' disease in children. Preventive measures].
abstract: Two immunocompromised children, aged 3 years and 1 1/2 month, developed an hospital-acquired Legionnaire's disease. In one case, Legionella pneumophila serotype 1 was identified by culture in pleural fluid; LP1 was isolated in all the warm water samples in the hospital. Clinical, epidemiological data and laboratory findings are discussed.
