Popis: Key Clinical Message Legionnaires' disease, often presenting as pneumonia, can uncommonly manifest with extrapulmonary symptoms such as cerebellar involvement and rhabdomyolysis. This case emphasizes the successful resolution of dysarthria and renal dysfunction with prompt Legionella treatment, underscoring the importance of vigilance for diverse manifestations in Legionella infections. Abstract Legionnaires' disease usually presents with pneumonia and a few extrapulmonary manifestations, such as neurological, musculoskeletal, and cutaneous manifestations. However, cerebellar involvement and rhabdomyolysis as an association with Legionella are not frequently encountered. We present a case of Legionella‐induced rhabdomyolysis requiring hemodialysis and dysarthria that resolved with Legionella treatment.
