[Legionella pneumophila pneumonia associated with the use of a home humidifier in an immunocompetent girl].
[legionellosis]
Legionellosis
is
an
uncommon
cause
of
pneumonia
in
children
and
even
more
exceptionally
in
healthy
children
.
The
purpose
of
this
study
is
to
describe
the
procedure
which
led
to
the
identification
of
an
unusual
source
of
legionella
infection
,
in
a
healthy
girl
,
and
highlight
the
need
to
adopt
preventive
measures
.
A
4
-
year
old
girl
without
any
risk
factors
was
diagnosed
of
pneumonia
caused
by
Legionella
pneumophila
serogroup
1
.
After
investigating
the
environment
,
it
was
found
that
the
source
of
the
transmission
was
a
home
humidifier
.
Despite
the
fact
that
this
equipment
is
classified
with
a
low
probability
of
spreading
legionella
,
a
lack
of
cleanliness
and
maintenance
of
these
machines
can
increase
the
risk
of
transmission
of
the
bacteria
.
Therefore
,
healthcare
professionals
must
give
adequate
advice
to
their
patients
about
the
care
of
this
equipment
and
how
to
use
these
machines
properly
.
