Methods of diagnosis for Legionella infection include urinary antigen testing, serology, culture, and nucleic acid testing (Herwaldt and Marra, 2018). Particular concern should be raised when non-L. pneumophila sero-group 1 infections are identified as the environmental sources may be more difficult...
