In addition to the L. pneumophila serogroup 1 cases (confirmed and
probable serogroup 1), we investigated 50 urine samples from culture
confirmed cases of L. pneumophila non-serogroup 1. Of these, the
ImmuView® kit was able to detect 10 out of 28 of the serogroup 3
cases, of which six were found positive by the Binax® EIA kit, and one
was found positive by both the BinaxNOW®.
ImmuView® was also able to detect two out of the 14 serogroup 6
cases and one serogroup 15, which was not found by the BinaxNOW®
or the Binax® EIA kit. All other non-serogroup 1 samples were negative
in both the ImmuView® and the two Binax® kits.
