A 75 year-old male was admitted to our hospital with high fever and dyspnea. He had traveled in Turkey 10 days before. His chest X-ray showed infiltrations in bilateral lower lung fields. His urinary antigen detection test for Legionella pneumophilia was positive. He was treated with pazufloxacin added to clarithromycin and his symptons were promptly resolved.
