title: Legionnaires' disease and brain abscess.
abstract: Neurologic symptoms are common in Legionnaires' disease, but the pathogenesis of these symptoms is not known. Brain scintigraphy or CT shows no abnormality that can account for the symptoms. We present the first evidence of cerebral abscess in a patient with serologically proven acute infection with Legionella.
