An immune adherence hemagglutination (IAHA) test for the measurement of antibodies to Legionella pneumophila was developed and evaluated for the diagnosis of Legionnaires disease. Its sensitivity was compared to that of the indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test and a recently developed indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test. The sensitivity of the three tests appeared to be similar, with the IFA test giving slightly higher titers. Both the IHA and IAHA tests appear useful for the serodiagnosis of Legionnaires disease; the IAHA test has the advantage that it can be used with many other serological antigens.
开发并评估了一种用于检测嗜肺军团菌抗体的免疫黏附血凝试验(IAHA),以诊断军团病。将其敏感性与间接荧光抗体试验(IFA)和最近开发的间接血凝试验(IHA)进行了比较。这三种试验的敏感性似乎相似,IFA试验的滴度略高。IHA和IAHA试验似乎都可用于军团病的血清学诊断;IAHA试验的优点是可与许多其他血清学抗原一起使用。
