LEGIONELLACEAE IN THE HOSPITAL WATER-SUPPLY: Epidemiological Link with Disease and Evaluation of a Method for Control of Nosocomial Legionnaires' Disease and Pittsburgh Pneumonia
Michele G. Best,Michele G. Best,Janet E. Stout,Janet E. Stout,RobertR. Muder,RobertR. Muder,VictorL. Yu,VictorL. Yu,Angella Goetz,Angella Goetz,Floyd H. Taylor,Floyd H. Taylor +11 more
TL;DR: An epidemiological link was found between contamination of a hospital water-supply by Legionella pneumophila and by Pittsburgh pneumonia agent (PPA) and subsequent cases of nosocomial legionnaires' disease and Pittsburgh pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Molecular Methods for Subtyping Patients and Epidemiologically Linked Environmental Isolates of Legionella pneumophila
Janet E. Stout,Jean R. Joly,Michael F. Para,Joseph F. Plouffe,Carol A. Ciesielski,Martin J. Blaser,Victor L. Yu +6 more
TL;DR: With use of the molecular techniques tested, the subtypes of patients' isolates were identical to those of epidemiologically linked environmental isolates from the same hospital.
Journal ArticleDOI
A proactive approach to prevention of health care–acquired Legionnaires' disease: The Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) experience
Cheryl Squier,Janet E. Stout,Janet E. Stout,Sharon Krsytofiak,Joan McMahon,Marilyn M. Wagener,Bruce W. Dixon,Victor L. Yu,Victor L. Yu +8 more
TL;DR: Two unanticipated benefits were (1) cases of LD in the community and long-term care facilities were uncovered as a result of increased availability of Legionella tests and (2) litigation and unfavorable publicity involving ACHD hospitals ceased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unexpected Similarity of Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Patterns of Unrelated Clinical Isolates of Legionella pneumophila, Serogroup 1
Stephanie D. Drenning,Stephanie D. Drenning,Janet E. Stout,Janet E. Stout,Jean R. Joly,Victor L. Yu,Victor L. Yu +6 more
TL;DR: Researchers who do epidemiological investigations should use caution when interpreting the significance of matching PFGE patterns of L. pneumophila, serogroup 1, because of the lack of information regarding the frequency and distribution of isolates belonging to various subtypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistently positive culture results in a patient with community-acquired pneumonia due to Legionella pneumophila.
James S. Tan,Thomas M. File,Joseph R. DiPersio,Linda P. DiPersio,Robert Hamor,Louis D. Saravolatz,Janet E. Stout +6 more
TL;DR: A patient with community-acquired pneumonia due to Legionella pneumophila serogroup 6 was found to have bronchoalveolar carcinoma of the lung by means of cytologic testing, and may have been partially due to the suspected underlying lung malignancy, as shown by cytologic examination.
