Abstract

We describe a sporadic case of Legionnaires' disease in which the diagnosis was made by direct immunofluorescence of material obtained by percutaneous aspiration of the involved lung via a needle. Employment of this technique among selected patients with suspected Legionnaires' disease would provide for more rapid diagnosis and more prompt initiation of definitive therapy for some patients.

摘要

我们描述了一例散发性军团病病例，其诊断是通过经皮针吸受累肺组织并进行直接免疫荧光检测来实现的。在部分疑似军团病的患者中应用该技术，可为一些患者提供更快速的诊断，并更迅速地开始确定性治疗。
