I-Legionella pneumophila Antigen Test

I-Legionnaires 'Diease, eqanjwe ngemuva kokugqashuka kwango-1976 emhlanganweni we-American Legion e-Philadelphia, ibangelwa i-Legionella pneumophila futhi ibonakala njengesifo esibuhlungu sokuphefumula esisuka ebubini kusukela ekuguleni okuncane kuya kwinyumoniya ebulalayo.Lesi sifo senzeka kuzo zombili izinhlobo zobhubhane kanye ne-endmic futhi izimo ezingavamile azihlukaniswa kalula kwezinye izifo zokuphefumula ngezimpawu zomtholampilo.Izibalo ezilinganiselwa ku-25000 kuya kweziyi-100000 zokutheleleka kweLegionella zenzeka ngonyaka e-United States.Izinga lokufa eliwumphumela, elisukela ku-25% kuya ku-40%, lingehliswa uma isifo sitholakala ngokushesha futhi ukwelashwa okufanele ngama-antimicrobial kuqaliswa kusenesikhathi.Izici eziyingozi ezaziwayo zihlanganisa ukuvinjelwa kokuzivikela komzimba, ukubhema ugwayi, ukuphuza utshwala kanye nesifo samaphaphu esihambisana nakho.Abancane nasebekhulile yibo abasengozini enkulu.I-Legionella pneumophila inesibopho sama-80% -90% wamacala abikiwe wokutheleleka kwe-Legionella nge-serpgroup 1 ebalwa ngaphezu kuka-70% wayo yonke i-legionellosis.Izindlela zamanje zokuhlonza inyumoniya elabhorethri ebangelwa i-Legionella pneumophila zidinga isampula yokuphefumula (isb. isikhwehlela esine-expectorated, ukugeza i-bronchial, i-transtracheal aspirate, i-lung biopsy) noma i-sera ebhanqiwe (enamandla ne-convalescent) ukuze kuhlonzwe kahle.

I-BESTest Legionella ivumela ukuxilongwa kusenesikhathi kwe-Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 infevtion ngokutholwa kwe-antigen ethile encibilikayo ekhona emchameni weziguli ezine-Legionnaires' Disease.I-Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen itholwe emchamweni ngokushesha ezinsukwini ezintathu ngemva kokuqala kwezimpawu.Ukuhlolwa kuyashesha, kunikeze umphumela emizuzwini eyi-15, futhi kusebenzisa isifanekiso somchamo esilungele ukuqoqwa, ukuthuthwa, nokutholwa okulandelayo kwezigaba zesifo kusenesikhathi, kanye nakamuva.
