Legionella pneumophila 1-7

The SERION ELISA classic Legionella pneumophila 1-7 IgG and IgM tests are quantitative and qualitative immunoassays for the detection of human antibodies in serum or plasma directed against Legionella pneumophila serotypes 1 to 7. The assays are recommended to complement the findings of direct detection methods and for differential diagnosis in case of atypical pneumonia.

Highlights

• Use of lysates of Legionella pneumophila serovars 1 to 7
• Sensitive demonstration of IgM antibodies for detection of primary infections
• Demonstration of IgG antibodies for confirmation of infections
• Quantification of IgG and IgM antibodies for disease stage monitoring and therapy control
• Differential diagnosis in case of atypical pneumonia
