Conventional diagnostic tests for legionellosis were negative for a 61-year-old immunocompromised man with pneumonia. However, coculture of a sputum sample with Acanthamoeba polyphaga amoebae led to the recovery of Legionella anisa. This procedure may be a sensitive and convenient diagnostic method, especially for non-Legionella pneumophila species infections that can be diagnosed only by culture.
一名61岁的免疫功能低下的肺炎男性患者,常规军团菌病诊断检测结果为阴性。然而,将一份痰液样本与多食棘阿米巴进行共培养后,分离出了嗜肺军团菌。该方法可能是一种灵敏且便捷的诊断方法,尤其适用于仅能通过培养诊断的非嗜肺军团菌感染。
