LEGIONELLA PNEUMO 1 AB - IGG

LAB3165

 

Collect

Serum separator tube.

Specimen Preparation

Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 1 mL serum to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 0.1 mL) Parallel testing is preferred and convalescent specimens must be received within 30 days from receipt of the acute specimens. Mark specimens plainly as acute or convalescent.

Unacceptable Conditions

Contaminated, hemolyzed, or severely lipemic specimens.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Refrigerated.

Stability (from collection to initiation)

After separation from cells: Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 1 year (avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles)

Notes

For follow-up testing on equivocal or positive results, refer to Legionella pneumophila Antibody (Type 1), IgG by IFA (0050376).

Performed

Mon-Fri

Methodology

Semi-Quantitative Indirect Fluorescent Antibody

Reported

1-4 days

Synonyms

  • LAB3165
  • LEG1-6 IGG
  • LEGION1ABG
  • LEGIONIGG

Ordering Recommendations

Provide retrospective evidence of suspected Legionella pneumophila infection.

Reference Interval

<1:128  Negative -  No significant level of Legionella pneumophila Type 1-6 IgG antibody detected.
1:128 Equivocal - Questionable presence of Legionella pneumophila Type 1-6 IgG antibody detected. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1:256 or greater Positive -  Presence of Legionella pneumophila Type 1-6 IgG antibody detected, suggestive of current or past infection.

Interpretive Data

Seroconversion between acute and convalescent sera is considered strong evidence of recent infection.  The best evidence for infection is a significant change on two appropriately timed specimens where both tests are done in the same laboratory at the same time.  This assay may detect infection by any of the serotypes 1-6.  The CDC and many state health laboratories recommend testing only for antibody to Legionella pneumophila Type 1.  For equivocal or positive IFA results, the CDC protocol suggests follow-up testing for Legionella pneumophila antibody Type 1.

(Min: 0.1 mL) Parallel testing is preferred and convalescent specimens must be received within 30 days from receipt of the acute specimens. Mark specimens plainly as acute or convalescent.

Unacceptable Conditions

Ordering Recommendations

May be useful when acute legionellosis is suspected; however, Legionella pneumophila Antigen, Urine (0070322) is preferred.

Reference Interval

< 1:16

Interpretive Data

IgM antibody to Legionella pneumophila serotypes 1-6 is measured using an IgM-specific conjugate.  It is recommended that the IgM test always be performed in conjunction with IgG antibody test.

The IgM response to Legionella tends to develop concurrently with the IgG response and may remain elevated as long as the IgG response remains elevated.  Cross-reactions have been described with several species of bacteria and Mycoplasma.
