This patient was found to have bronchoalveolar carcinoma of the lung by means of cytologic testing in 1 of 2 bronchoalveolar lavage samples, but no lesions were visible on bronchoscopy. Despite intravenous administration of azithromycin to the patient, repeat culture and polymerase chain reaction showed persistence of Legionella; the isolates remained susceptible to azithromycin. The patient did not respond to 14 doses of daily intravenously administered azithromycin. The poor outcome may have been partially due to the suspected underlying lung malignancy, as shown by cytologic examination, and by a delay in seeking medical attention.
