Statens Serum Institut has developed Immuview\u00ae <em>Legionella <\/em>Blood Test which is a lateral flow test for identification of IgM against<em> Legionella pneumophila<\/em> serogroup 1 and 3. It has been developed as a test primarily for patients with severe pneumonia; who have travelled abroad or been in areas with outbreak of <em>Legionella<\/em>; who have had indications of <em>Legionella <\/em>in a urine test; who have caught pneumonia when hospitalized. The Immuview\u00ae <em>Legionella<\/em> Blood test makes it possible to identify IgM antibodies against <em>Legionella pneumophila<\/em> serogroup 1 and 3 early in the course of the illness, and at the stage when the patient is normally admitted to the hospital. The test contains <em>Legionella pneumophila<\/em> serogroup 1 and 3 antigens, which have been applied to a lateral flow membrane. The test is simple to use and shows a result within 20 minutes. A drop of blood is added to the sample port, and a minute later four drops of running buffer is added to the buffer addition port. After 20 minutes the result can be read. ImmuView\u2122 <em>Legionella <\/em>Blood Test is sold in kits of 10 or 50 tests including buffer, a positive control, and a score card for semi quantitative measuring.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Supplier:<\/strong> SSI Diagnostica A\/S<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"avia-button avia-color-theme-color\" href=\"mailto:LEK@ssi.dk\">Mail the supplier<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legionella pneumophila is responsible for at least two diseases in humans: Legionnaires\u2019 disease, which is a severe form of pneumonia, clinically indistinguishable from other types of bacterial pneumonia, and Pontiac fever which is a flu-like illness.
