Antibodies to Legionella pneumophila were found by indirect immunofluorescence assay in 525 samples of human serum. The samples were obtained from 451 patients who were suspected of having an acute infectious illness, with mainly respiratory symptoms; 90 patients had antibodies to L. pneumophila (19.9%). The results suggest that the prevalence of L. pneumophila is greater than had previously been supposed.
通过间接免疫荧光测定法在525份人血清样本中发现了抗嗜肺军团菌抗体。这些样本取自451名疑似患有急性传染病（主要是呼吸道症状）的患者；90名患者有抗嗜肺军团菌抗体（19.9%）。结果表明，嗜肺军团菌的流行率比之前认为的要高。
