If antibiotics don't work, people can face death or severe lung failure. Checking the patient's urine is also a efficient way of seeing if they have Legionella. ]]> 2021-10-26 04:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mmontiel25/iuuev9e7fc814u1u/wish/1843883354 mmontiel25 https://padlet.com/mmontiel25/iuuev9e7fc814u1u/wish/1843905630 When taking an antibiotic for Legionella it lasts for about 1 to 3 weeks.
