We tested serum specimens from three groups of patients with pneumonia by indirect immunofluorescence against Legionella-like amoebal pathogens (LLAPs) 1-7, 9, 10, 12, 13; Parachlamydia acanthamoeba strains BN 9 and Hall's coccus; and Afipia felis. We found that LLAPs play a role (albeit an infrequent one) in community-acquired pneumonia, usually as a co-pathogen but sometimes as the sole identified pathogen.
我们通过间接免疫荧光法，针对军团菌样阿米巴病原体（LLAPs）1 - 7、9、10、12、13；棘阿米巴属副衣原体菌株BN 9和霍尔氏球菌；以及费氏艾菲比菌，检测了三组肺炎患者的血清标本。我们发现，LLAPs在社区获得性肺炎中发挥作用（尽管这种情况并不常见），通常作为一种共同病原体，但有时也作为唯一确定的病原体。
