Detection of mip gene by PCR for diagnosis of Legionnaires' disease.

Scottish Legionella Reference Laboratory, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Ruchill Hospital, Glasgow.

ABSTRACT

The mip gene of Legionella pneumophila was demonstrated by PCR and probing in paired acute-phase and convalescent-phase sera from five patients with Legionnaires' disease but not in the acute-phase sera of 100 patients with pneumonia that showed no serological evidence of Legionella infection. PCR may help in cases presenting diagnostic difficulty.
