A slide Co-agglutination test for the detection of Salmonella typhi Vi antigen in blood was evaluated for its efficiency in rapid diagnosis of Typhoid fever. The results were compared with conventional methods like Blood culture and Widal test. The test showed a sensitivity of 86.67% and specificity of 88.83% when compared with blood culture positivity or Widal titre above 160. This is a useful rapid diagnostic test for the early diagnosis of Typhoid fever.
对用于检测血液中伤寒杆菌Vi抗原的玻片协同凝集试验在伤寒热快速诊断中的效率进行了评估。将结果与血培养和肥达试验等传统方法进行了比较。与血培养阳性或肥达效价高于160相比,该试验的灵敏度为86.67%,特异性为88.83%。这是一种用于伤寒热早期诊断的有用的快速诊断试验。
