title: Fluorescent-antibody detection of Legionella dumoffii in a fatal case of pneumonia.
abstract: Legionella dumoffii organisms were detected in the lung tissue from a patient with a fatal case of pneumonia, the second reported to date. A fluorescent-antibody conjugate specific for the Tex-KL organism isolated in 1979 revealed many L, dumoffii organisms in lung tissue obtained postmortem from this patient.
