Seventy-nine ambulatory patients with acute lower respiratory tract infection were evaluated for Legionella pneumophila by acute and convalescent antibody titers. None of the patients met the traditional criteria for the diagnosis of acute infection caused by Legionella pneumophila. Currently accepted criteria for diagnosing legionellosis by serologic means may or may not be applicable to mild respiratory tract infections.
通过急性期和恢复期抗体滴度对79例急性下呼吸道感染的门诊患者进行了嗜肺军团菌评估。没有患者符合嗜肺军团菌引起急性感染的传统诊断标准。目前通过血清学方法诊断军团病所采用的标准可能适用于轻度呼吸道感染,也可能不适用于轻度呼吸道感染。
