We compared PCR with blood cultures in the diagnosis of neonatal staphylococcal sepsis. Significant association was observed between PCR-based and culture-based diagnosis of staphylococcal bacteremia. Positive and negative predictive values for PCR were 100% and 98%, respectively. These data indicate that PCR may serve as a useful adjunct for the rapid diagnosis of staphylococcal sepsis.
我们比较了聚合酶链反应(PCR)与血培养在新生儿葡萄球菌败血症诊断中的作用。基于PCR和基于培养的葡萄球菌菌血症诊断之间存在显著关联。PCR的阳性预测值和阴性预测值分别为100%和98%。这些数据表明,PCR可作为快速诊断葡萄球菌败血症的有用辅助手段。
