The first Canadian case of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 12 infection is reported. The initial diagnosis was made with a urine specimen by a broad-spectrum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; further serogrouping was done by indirect fluorescent-antibody and tube agglutination tests. This case emphasizes the importance of multivalent urinary antigen detection for the diagnosis of legionellosis.
报告了加拿大首例嗜肺军团菌血清型12感染病例。最初通过广谱酶联免疫吸附试验利用尿液标本进行诊断;进一步的血清分型通过间接荧光抗体试验和试管凝集试验完成。该病例强调了多价尿抗原检测在军团病诊断中的重要性。
