The Bartels enzyme immunoassay (EIA), Biotest EIA, and Binax NOW immunochromatographic test (ICT) urinary antigen kits for the detection of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 were compared using 178 frozen urine samples. When nonconcentrated urine samples were used, the sensitivity levels of both enzyme EIAs were significantly higher than the sensitivity level of the ICT (Bartels EIA, 71.3%; Biotest EIA, 65.1%; Binax NOW ICT, 37% [P < 0.001]). After concentration of the urine samples, no significant differences in sensitivity were found among the three tests.
使用178份冷冻尿液样本，对用于检测嗜肺军团菌血清1型的巴特尔酶免疫测定法（EIA）、比奥泰斯特EIA和Binax NOW免疫层析试验（ICT）尿液抗原检测试剂盒进行了比较。当使用未浓缩的尿液样本时，两种酶免疫测定法的灵敏度水平均显著高于免疫层析试验的灵敏度水平（巴特尔EIA为71.3%；比奥泰斯特EIA为65.1%；Binax NOW免疫层析试验为37%[P<0.001]）。尿液样本浓缩后，三种检测方法在灵敏度上未发现显著差异。
