 Legionella pneumonia is a disease with mortality rate of approximately 10% if not treated appropriately in the early phase. In order to find the clinical indicators for early diagnosis of Legionella pneumonia, a retrospective investigation was performed on clinical profiles of eleven Legionella pneumonia patients hospitalized in Itami City Hospital during the period of 2008-2013.

 Fever and elevated acute inflammatory biomarkers were seen in all patients. Tachypnea(>20/min)was seen in ten of eleven patients. Disturbance of consciousness of Japan Coma scale(JCS)-Ⅰ was seen in eight of the eleven patients, and four of the five hypoxemic patients(SpO2≦90%).

 No one complained of dyspnea.

 Early phase of Legionella pneumonia would be suggested by no complaint of dyspnea in febrile patients with hypoxemia. It is necessary to investigate testing this hypothesis in a prospective comparative study among early phase of community acquired pneumonia(CAP)patients.
