Legionnaires' disease in a 37-year-old male who had had silicosis was reported. He was admitted because of dyspnea. The chest X-ray film and CT scan showed infiltrative shadow and swelling of mediastinal lymph nodes. Open lung biopsy was done and Legionella pneumohila was detected.

The patient is now well.
