Legionella longbeachae serogroup 1 was isolated from the respiratory secretions of two patients with community‐acquired pneumonia. One patient had a mild infection without evidence of the involvement of other organs and recovered, in spite of inappropriate antibiotic therapy. The other patient was severely‐ill on presentation with multisystem failure and died soon after admission to hospital. The organisms were identified by the immunofluorescence technique and by quantitative DNA‐hybridization studies. The sources of the infection in these patients are unknown as the organism has never been isolated from the SA environment. (Med J Aust 1989; 150: 599‐601)
