Legionellosis is an acute community-acquired pneumonia in 90% of cases with a hospitalization rate of over 90%. The clinical presentation, although non-specific, is clearly described and biological tools allow a certain and rapid diagnosis. There is no typical radiographic pattern of Legionella infection that would allow differentiation of Legionellosis from other infectious or non-infectious pneumonias, especially on chest CT. We report the case of a 52-year-old patient in whom the scanographic signs strongly suggest a Covid infection19. The diagnosis was confirmed by molecular biology.
