Abstract:
The immunochromatographic membrane test (ICT) efficacy of Legionella antigen detection (Binax Now Legionella) was evaluated using respiratory samples, including bronchial washings (44 cases) and sputum (128 cases), from suspected Legionella pneumonia patients. The ICT results using respiratory samples agreed well with isolation of L. pneumophila SG1 and ICT using urines.
