摘要：
Anti-TNF-alpha antibodies are widely used. The indications for their usage are still increasing. With their emerging use, their infectious complications are seen more often. We describe the first case of a pneumonia with Legionella pneumophila in a pregnant women with Crohn's disease, during treatment with anti-TNF-alpha antibodies. She was treated with erythromycin and made a full recovery. (C) 2010 European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
