2017, Infectious Disease Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Clinicians should be aware of the nonspecific characteristic clinical findings in legionnaire’s disease and its mimics.1–5,9,41–45 In admitted adults with CAP and with otherwise unexplained mental confusion, the differential diagnosis is essentially limited and points to legionnaire’s disease or Mycoplasma pneumoniae meningoencephalitis.7,41–49 In the setting of CAP, otherwise unexplained loose watery stools suggest legionnaire’s disease or M pneumoniae.40,46

2014, Clinical Microbiology and InfectionCitation Excerpt :From our point of view, this selection of patients does not reflect daily practice, because it is not known beforehand whether a pathogen can be detected. Other investigators have also failed to accurately predict the aetiology of CAP on the basis of clinical patterns or radiographic features [14–21]. Ruiz-Gonzales et al. developed a bedside rule to distinguish ‘virus-like’ pneumonia (including Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Legionella pneumophila) and bacterial pneumonia with three clinical predictors.
