    Snippet: Whereas the Legionella urinary antigen test can only diagnose the L. pneumophila serogroup 1, PCR can diagnose all serogroups, and thus has higher sensitivity for Legionella diagnosis. In a recent systematic review, the sensitivity of the Legionella PCR test using respiratory organ samples was 97.4%, and its specificity was 98.6% [41] . Legionella PCR may be performed using nasopharyngeal samples or nasal swabs when no sputum is secreted even in .....
