摘要：

We evaluated a new immunochromatographic assay (Oxoid Xpect Legionella test kit) for the ability to detect Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen in urine. The results were compared with those obtained with the Binax NOW urinary antigen test by following the manufacturers' instructions. The sensitivities and specificities were estimated to be 89 and 100%, respectively, for the Oxoid Xpect Legionella test kit and 86 and 100%, respectively, for the Binax NOW test.
