Comparison of virus culturing and immunofluorescence for rapid detection of respiratory syncytial virus in nasopharyngeal secretions: sensitivity and specificity.
نویسنده
چکیده
I compared the fluorescent antibody test for respiratory syncytial virus in nasal secretions to virus cultures (N = 310). The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value (+) were 95.1%, 86.5%, and 88.5%, respectively.

Background and Aims: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is common in infants and young children. In infants younger than one year old it may cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia which requires hospitalization. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of the disease will help proper treatment of the disease and prevent further complications. Materials and Methods: Specimen taken from respiratory ...
متن کاملComparison of BD DirectigenTM EZ RSV and Remel X/pectTM RSV Rapid Chromatographic Immunoassays to Direct Immunofluorescence for Detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Pediatric Patients
Two rapid lateral flow chromatographic immunoassays (RLFCIs), the BD DirectigenTM EZ RSV (BD Diagnostics, Sparks, MD) and X/pectTM RSV (Remel Inc., Lenexa, KS) tests, were compared to a direct immunofluorescence (DFA) assay for detection of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in nasopharyngeal aspirates from pediatric patients. Our study of RLFCIs was focused on testing frozen patient specimens. ...
متن کاملProspective comparative study of culture specimens and methods in diagnosing influenza in adults.
Influenza is diagnosed by culturing influenza virus in respiratory secretions. Although childhood infection with respiratory syncytial virus is detected by culturing nasopharyngeal aspirates, in adults with influenza throat swabs are generally taken. This report compares culture of nasopharyngeal aspirates with culture of throat swabs and rapid culture methods with standard methods in detecting...
