The ImmuView S. pneumoniae<\/i> and L. pneumophila<\/i> Urinary Antigen Test is a combined rapid lateral flow test for qualitative detection of S. pneumoniae<\/i> and L. pneumophila<\/i> serogroup 1 in human urine samples. The test is effective in presumptive diagnosis of Legionella infection (Legionnaires\u2019 Disease) caused by L. pneumophila<\/i> serogroup 1 or pneumococcal pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae<\/i> in conjunction with culture and other methods. Correct and early treatment is vital for the prognosis of both diseases and therefore rapid methods to confirm both diseases in the initial phase are very important in order to initiate the proper antibiotic treatment as soon as possible. The target groups for this test include hospital departments in respiratory medicine, infection control, infectious diseases and intensive care. The combination of Pneumococcus and Legionella in one test results in laboratories saving time by performing two tests in one \u2013 test result in 15 minutes \u2013 and money, as the price for the combined test is lower than what is normally paid for two separate tests. Testing for S. pneumoniae<\/i> and L. pneumophila<\/i> is recommended in guidelines in several countries. ImmuView S. pneumoniae<\/i> and L. pneumophila<\/i> Urinary Antigen Test kit contains 1 tube with 22 test strips, 0.5 mL positive control, 0.5 mL negative control, 2.5 mL running buffer, 1 tweezer, 22 transfer pipettes, 22 test tubes, 1 cardboard test tube holder and a quick guide.
