We have evaluated the validity of the clinical data, the clinical impression (CI) of the physician and a rapid antigenic technique (RAT) for the diagnosis of acute streptococcal pharyngitis and tonsillitis (SPT). We evaluated 126 patients aged 7-60 years (October 1988-March 1989). The incidence of SPT was 19%. SPTs had a significantly higher frequency of lack of cough and sudden onset as isolated findings, and of the associations fever greater than 38 degrees C + exudate + lack of cough, and sudden onset + fever greater than 38 degrees C + exudate + lack of cough. CI had a sensibility (S) of 56%, a specificity (Sp) of 72%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 32%, a negative predictive value (NPV) of 88% and an overall valve (OV) of 69%. The RAT had a S of 79.2%, a Sp 93%, a PPV of 73%, a NPV of 95%, and an OV of 90.5%. Only some clinical data are useful to diagnose SPT. The CI of the physician has a low predictive value, whereas TestPack Strep A is useful and has a similar value as pharyngeal culture.
我们评估了临床数据、医生的临床印象(CI)以及一种快速抗原检测技术(RAT)在诊断急性链球菌性咽炎和扁桃体炎(SPT)方面的有效性。我们对126名年龄在7至60岁之间的患者进行了评估(1988年10月至1989年3月)。SPT的发病率为19%。SPT患者中,缺乏咳嗽和突然起病作为单独症状出现的频率显著更高,以及发热超过38摄氏度+渗出物+缺乏咳嗽,和突然起病+发热超过38摄氏度+渗出物+缺乏咳嗽这些症状组合出现的频率也显著更高。CI的敏感度(S)为56%,特异度(Sp)为72%,阳性预测值(PPV)为32%,阴性预测值(NPV)为88%,总体效度(OV)为69%。RAT的S为79.2%,Sp为93%,PPV为73%,NPV为95%,OV为90.5%。只有一些临床数据对诊断SPT有用。医生的CI预测价值较低,而TestPack A型链球菌检测有用,且与咽拭子培养具有相似的价值。
