Abstract:
A microagglutination (MA) test for antibodies to 10 different Legionella antigens was evaluated by comparison with an indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test. Sera from 227 patients were investigated. There was good agreement between the two tests, especially when testing sera from patients with a rise in titre. The MA is promising as an easy, quick, cheap and reproducible test for antibodies to Legionella.
