摘要
Legionella anisa is rarely associated with human disease. Its gene was identified by broad-range PCR in whole blood and excised tissue from a patient with a culture-negative mycotic aneurysm and was considered as a possible pathogen. This case report is potentially useful for the future diagnosis of intravascular infection.
