Abstract
The detection of the specific Legionella Urinary Antigen (LUA) is actually the most used method to diagnose legionellosis, but some different tests are commercially available at the moment in Italy. The Italian Working Group on Legionella Infections carried out an investigations to compare the reproducibility of three commercial tests for LUA detection versus the Biotest Legionella Urinary Antigen EIA , which is declared to have the highest sensitivity and specificity, as well as the ability to recognize all species of Legionella.
