A member asked:
Do you need to go to the hospital for legionnaires' disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you had a very: mild case (which is not very likely) it would be possible to treat you at home. It is more likely that you will need supportive care and treatment which is best performed in the hospital.
