The Uni-Gold, the SAS and the Binax NOW immunochromatographic test (ICT) urinary antigen assays for the qualitative detection of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 were compared using 39 unfrozen and nonconcentrated urine samples from patients with Legionnaires disease (LD). The Uni-Gold antigen test detected the urinary antigen in 41% (16/39), the SAS antigen test in 61.5% (24/39), and the Binax NOW antigen test in 74.3% (29/39). The Binax NOW ICT assay showed the best results when detecting L. pneumophila urinary antigen.
使用来自退伍军人病（LD）患者的39份未冷冻且未浓缩的尿液样本，对用于定性检测嗜肺军团菌血清1型的优利德、SAS和Binax NOW免疫层析试验（ICT）尿液抗原检测方法进行了比较。优利德抗原检测法在41%（16/39）的样本中检测到尿液抗原，SAS抗原检测法在61.5%（24/39）的样本中检测到尿液抗原，Binax NOW抗原检测法在74.3%（29/39）的样本中检测到尿液抗原。在检测嗜肺军团菌尿液抗原时，Binax NOW ICT试验显示出最佳结果。
