The Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen urine test (UAT) detects a common protein (C-polysaccharide) from pneumococcus in urine, rapidly diagnosing pneumococcal pneumonia in adults, especially severe cases, often within 15 minutes using rapid tests like BinaxNOW. It's quick, non-invasive, and useful for guiding antibiotic treatment, though less sensitive in kids (due to carriage) and negative results don't rule out infection, with better accuracy in severe, bacteremic cases.
