Probable case of severe sars-cov-2 reinfection with legionella pneumophila co-infection

The immunity conferred after a first SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and the consequent risk of persistent infection or reinfection are not fully elucidated. There are reports both in Europe and in North America of reinfection cases, recently highlighting the first case published in South America. On the other hand, reports of co-infections have been increasing, including those associated with Legionella pneumophila. We present the case of a 47-year-old male, health personnel who, after four months of a first SARS-CoV-2 infection, suffers a severe pneumonia certifying a new SARS-CoV-2 infection and a L. pneu-mophila co-infection by urinary antigen detection. He was treated in the ICU, requiring mechanical ventilation, dexamethasone, and moxifloxacin, with a good response. He is currently in respiratory and motor rehabilitation.
