The Diagnosis of Legionella pneumophila Serogroup 5 Bacteremic Pneumonia during Severe Neutropenia Using Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification

A 60-year-old man developed pneumonia after undergoing autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for diffuse large-B cell lymphoma. A urinary antigen test and sputum culture were both negative for Legionella pneumophila; however, a sputum sample that was examined by loop-mediated isother...
