An upper limit of normal microagglutination titer for the Knoxville strain of Legionella pneumophila was determined by testing 830 sera. The upper limit of normal titer was found to be 8; however, we suggest that when applied to single serum specimens a titer of 32 be considered the lowest titer suggestive of infection (not necessarily disease).
通过检测830份血清确定了嗜肺军团菌诺克斯维尔菌株正常微量凝集滴度的上限。发现正常滴度上限为8;然而,我们建议,当应用于单个血清标本时,32的滴度应被视为提示感染(不一定是疾病)的最低滴度。
