Legionella, one of the causative pathogens of atypical pneumonia, firstly outbroked during the period of American Legion’s convention in 1976, Philadelphia. Legionella infection can accompany multisystem involvement. In addition to pulmonary lesions, it also accompanies extrapulmonary manifestations, including gastrointestinal symptoms (primarily diarrhea and hepatic dysfunction), neurological symptoms (primarily headache, disorientation and confusion of consciousness), urinary symptoms (primarily hematuria, proteinuria and acute kidney injury), rhabdomyolysis, as well as electrolyte disorder mainly characterized by hyponatremia and hypophosphatemia. This article reviews the extrapulmonary manifestations and its regulatory mechanism of Legionella infection.
