The immunochromatographic membrane test (ICT) efficacy of Legionella antigen detection (Binax Now Legionella) was evaluated using respiratory samples, including bronchial washings (44 cases) and sputum (128 cases), from suspected Legionella pneumonia patients. The ICT results using respiratory samples agreed well with isolation of L. pneumophila SG1 and ICT using urines.
使用疑似嗜肺军团菌肺炎患者的呼吸道样本（包括44例支气管灌洗样本和128例痰液样本）评估了军团菌抗原检测免疫层析膜试验（ICT，Binax Now军团菌检测）的效能。使用呼吸道样本的ICT结果与嗜肺军团菌1型的分离结果以及使用尿液样本的ICT结果高度一致。
