A total of 52 residual CSF and serum specimens, which were originally negative with the Cryptococcal Antigen Latex Agglutination System (CALAS), were shown to become falsely positive after placement in BBL Port-A-Cul anaerobic transport vials. This transport device, although excellent for specimen transportation for subsequent culture, should not be used if cryptococcal antigen testing is needed.
共有 52 份原本用隐球菌抗原乳胶凝集系统(CALAS)检测为阴性的残余脑脊液和血清标本,放入 BBL Port-A-Cul 厌氧运输管后显示为假阳性。这种运输装置虽然非常适合用于标本运输以便后续培养,但如果需要进行隐球菌抗原检测,则不应使用。
