摘要

•Legionella is a clinically significant cause of severe LRTI in our centre.•Legionella pneumophila PCR testing enabled a rapid response to a LD outbreak in 2012.•Syndromic molecular testing identified severe viral LRTI during the LD outbreak.•Legionella species PCR detected several cases of Legionella longbeachae LD.•These would have been missed by L. pneumophila PCR/urinary antigen testing alone.
