What is Legionella Antigen Test?

Legionella is a type of bacteria that can cause Legionnaires disease, a serious form of pneumonia. Legionella testing detects the presence of bacteria or parts of bacteria (antigens) to aid in the diagnosis of pneumonia.

A legionella infection affects the lower respiratory tract, frequently necessitating hospitalisation, and has a high mortality rate. Legionella bacteria can also cause Pontiac fever, a milder and self-limiting illness with flu-like symptoms, in addition to pneumonia (without pneumonia). Legionnaires' disease and Pontiac fever are referred to collectively as legionellosis.
