Symptom #10: Confusion
Legionnaire’s disease can also cause neurologic symptoms, the most common being alterations of mental status. Confusion is a symptom that speaks of an altered mental status, and it refers to a sudden change in a patient’s awareness. Confused patients might struggle to remember things, they may feel disoriented, and unaware of their surroundings.
Other neurologic symptoms that might be seen in legionnaire’s disease include lethargy (pathological state of sleepiness) and headaches. Most of these symptoms won’t be recognized by the patient, instead they will be noticed by their family or medical professionals.
