Clinical Info

Detect Legionella species

Specimen Type

Body Fluid, Tissue, Sputum, Respiratory

Container

Sterile

Collection Instructions

The high sensitivity of amplification by PCR requires the specimen to be processed in an environment in which contamination of the specimen by Legionella DNA is unlikely. Specimen Type: Respiratory Sources: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), bronchial brushings, nasopharyngeal swab, sputum, tracheal aspirates or pleural fluid. Container/Tube: Sterile container or Viral Transport Media (VTM) Volume: 2 mL (0.5 mL min) Transport Temperature: Refrigerated Specimen Type:  Swab Container/Tube/ Viral Transport Media

Transport Instructions

Refrigerated

Specimen Stability

1 Day Room Temperature 5 Days Refrigerated 6 Months Frozen

Methodology

Qualitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) This test detects and speciates L. pneumophila. The nucleic acid from other Legionella species will be detected by this test but cannot be differentiated

Days Performed

TAT: 2-4 Days

Performing Laboratory

ARUP Laboratories
