This study evaluated a new immunochromatographic assay (SAS Legionella Test) for its ability to detect Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen in urine. Results were compared with those obtained using the Binax Now urinary antigen test. Sensitivity and specificity were estimated as 82.9% and 99.0%, respectively, for the SAS Legionella Test, and 91.4% and 100%, respectively, for the Binax Now urinary antigen test. The sensitivity of both tests increased to 97.1% (p 0.009) and 94.2% (p 0.7), respectively, if the tests were examined after 1 h.
本研究评估了一种新型免疫层析检测法(SAS嗜肺军团菌检测)检测尿液中嗜肺军团菌血清1型抗原的能力。将结果与使用Binax Now尿抗原检测法所获结果进行比较。SAS嗜肺军团菌检测法的敏感性和特异性估计分别为82.9%和99.0%,而Binax Now尿抗原检测法的敏感性和特异性分别为91.4%和100%。如果在1小时后进行检测,两种检测法的敏感性分别提高到97.1%(p<0.009)和94.2%(p<0.7)。
