Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a historic public health emergency, with an estimated 458 million confirmed cases and 6 million deaths.[1] The highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause severe pneumonia as well as extrapulmonary sequelae, making accurate diagnosis and management crucial.[2] Legionnaire’s disease is a severe atypical bacterial pneumonia that can be associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.[3] Like SARS-CoV-2 infection, legionella may be associated with extrapulmonary symptoms, including diarrhea, hyponatremia, and neurological manifestations such as encephalopathy, among others.[4] Importantly, the mortality rate of legionella infection is high, with one study reporting over 6% mortality despite appropriate antibiotic therapy with either azithromycin or a fluoroquinolone.[5]
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
