One hundred and fifty blood bank donors were sero-surveyed for legionella antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence test using a polyvalent antigen group (1 to 4). 20% of the group surveyed had an antibody titre greater than or equal to 16 to the organism. This paper also reports a study on 166 hospitalised acute pneumonia patients. The sera from these patients were screened for L. pneumophila antibodies; 5 of the patients had significant antibody titre greater than or equal to 256 which is diagnostic of legionellosis.
通过使用多价抗原组（1至4）的间接免疫荧光试验，对150名血库献血者进行了军团菌抗体血清学调查。在接受调查的人群中，20%的人针对该生物体的抗体滴度大于或等于16。本文还报告了一项对166名住院急性肺炎患者的研究。对这些患者的血清进行了嗜肺军团菌抗体筛查；其中5名患者的抗体滴度显著大于或等于256，这可诊断为军团菌病。
