Legionella pneumophila 1 Ag [Presence] in Urine by Rapid immunoassay
L pneumo1 Ag Ur Ql IA.rapid
Definition
- For patients with symptoms of pneumonia, this test allows for early diagnosis of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 infection by detecting a specific soluble antigen present in the urine of patients with Legionnaires Disease. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's Alere BinaxNOW Legionella Urinary Antigen Card test kit, which is a immunochromatographic membrane assay. Once reagents and cards are at room temperature, the test results can be read in about 15 minutes.
