Abstract
We evaluated the positive predictive value (PPV) of rapid assays used by clinical laboratories in Minnesota to diagnose cryptosporidiosis. The overall PPV was 56% for rapid assays versus 97% for nonrapid assays; clinicians and laboratorians need to be aware of the low PPV of rapid assays when diagnosing cryptosporidiosis.
摘要
我们评估了明尼苏达州临床实验室用于诊断隐孢子虫病的快速检测方法的阳性预测值 (PPV)。与非快速检测方法的 97%相比，快速检测方法的总 PPV 为 56%；临床医生和实验室人员在诊断隐孢子虫病时需要意识到快速检测方法的低 PPV。
