FIG. 1 Diagnosing Streptococcus pneumoniae. Total N = 324. Four of these subjects were not counted as having ‘pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)’, because of a positive Legionella urinary antigen test result or Escherichia coli bacteraemia at the same time. One subject was diagnosed as having pneumococcal CAP by a positive pleural fluid culture only. BC, blood culture; ICA, urinary immunochromatographic assay (BinaxNOW) for S. pneumoniae; UAD, serotype-specific urinary antigen detection test; pos., positive result for S. pneumoniae.
