Abstract
We compared the clinical performance of the ImmuView
L. pneumophila
and
L. longbeachae
urinary antigen test (SSI Diagnostica A/S, Hillerød, Denmark) to that of the BinaxNOW
Legionella
urinary antigen card (Binax; Abbott, Lake Buff, IL) using urine specimens from patients suspected of having pneumonia. In total, 100 frozen urine samples (derived from 50
Legionella
cases and 50 noncases) were analyzed with both tests, as were 200 nonfrozen prospectively collected samples.
