Community-acquired legionellosis in Singapore.

Patients admitted to hospital with chest infections were examined serologically to see if these were due to Legionella pneumophila. Each of the 219 samples of serum collected from 177 patients was examined by two standard tests. The tests, which generally agreed, identified three individuals (1.7% of the group) who had sufficient antibody to suggest that they were suffering from current legionellosis. Serological evidence of previous infection was discovered (with differing degrees of certainty) in 26 (14.7%) of the others. The study showed that legionellosis is endemic in Singapore, and so must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of cases of pneumonia.

Pulmonary sarcoidosis in Singapore.

Eight cases of pulmonary sarcoidosis with a mean age of 27.8 years were seen in our Department since May 1974. There were 5 males and 3 females and 5 of our patients were Chinese. 75% of cases were symptomatic at initial presentation. Extra pulmonary manifestation was seen in only one patient who had a right facial palsy. Hilar adenopathy was the principal radiological finding. (Bilateral hilar adenopathy was present in 6 and unilateral hilar adenopathy was seen in 1 patient) 50% of our patients had x-ray evidence of pulmonary parenchymal involvement and received steroid therapy. Though sarcoidosis is rare among Asians especially among Chinese, we feel an increase in prevalence can be expected in future.
