Abstract
Patients with infantile spasms, an intractable epileptic disorder, often are treated with adrenocorticotropic hormone. Legionella pneumophila is a rare cause of pneumonia in children. We describe 2 infants with Legionella pneumonia whose infection occurred within 1 month after starting adrenocorticotropic hormone.
