Résumé
Legionnaires' disease is a severe respiratory infection that causes increased mortality in hospitalized and immunocompromised patients. We report a nosocomial case in France linked to a water flosser. Our findings underscore the need for vigilance regarding such devices and highlight strategies for their safe management within healthcare settings.
