Severity index, she scores 85 points and is stratified as a class iii risk patient, theoretically meaning she does not need to be admitted to the hospital. However, the boundary of hospital admission is 90 points, so she is essentially right on the border. She has positive antigen detection for legionella in her urine, implying presence of legionella. Her symptoms also coincide with those of an early legionella infection, and admission into the hospital is crucial in order to receive appropriate care. Therefore, i am admitting her as a hospital inpatient, but she does not need to be admitted to the icu.
