According to the authors' observations, the symptoms of nervous system derangement associated with legionnaires' disease rather often enter the disease structure and can virtually be characterized as a manifestation of infectious and toxic encephalopathy and polyneuropathy (encephalopolyneuropathy). In the majority of cases, the neurological disorders develop acutely or subacutely after or simultaneously with respiratory lesions. The clinical picture of encephalopathy is marked by permanent headache, mental abnormalities, memory disturbances, insomnia, pronounced astheno-vegetative and vascular manifestations. In patients with legionellosis, polyneuropathy is manifested by paresthesias, less frequently by pains in the distal parts of the limbs and myasthenia without visible atrophies. Vegetative disorders such as vegetative polyneuropathy of the hands and legs, visceral polyneuropathies are typical symptoms of the disease whatever its gravity. Vegetovascular dystonia together with long-term AP instability is an obligate sign of the disease. Electrophysiological examinations (EEG, REG, EMG) support the clinical findings and may serve the basis for an objective evaluation of the gravity of the neurological disorders. The degree of pulmonary lesions and the intensity of vegetative disorders eventually determine the torpidity and characteristics of the disease course.
