摘要：

In summary, a 70-year-old Japanese man presented with severe L. pneumophila pneumonia and MOF. The pathogen proved to have been acquired from the public bath on a cruise ship traveling from Osaka to Taiwan. The patient's strain of L. pneumophila and the strain of L. pneumophila obtained from the water in the public bath on the cruise ship were both identified as serogroup 5. Although the patient showed MOF caused by septicemia, he was successfully treated with erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, rifampicin, and methylprednisolone. The public baths on cruise ships have been poorly investigated by the appropriate public organization in Japan. This case raises an important public health issue regarding the prevention of legionellosis in Japan. © JSA 2004.
