S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila rapid test

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia and Legionella pneumophila causes costly hospital and ICU admissions. It is difficult to clinically distinguish between the two bacteria and due to different treatment of the diseases, guidelines recommend double testing. The ImmuView Antigen test makes it now possible to readily distinguish between both microorganisms in […]
