Regional Cardiothoracic Unit, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne.

The diagnosis was made by culture in each case and would not otherwise have been made, and it is recommended that a culture specific for Legionella species should be included in the investigation of patients with suspected opportunist pulmonary infections.
