Campylobacter antigen detection by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) provides rapid results compared to traditional culture. However, concern exists regarding specificity. Verification studies of an EIA compared to culture revealed a positive predictive value (PPV) of 91%, whereas PPV fell to 42% during routine diagnostic testing. We suggest all positive EIA results be confirmed via culture.
与传统培养相比,酶免疫分析(EIA)检测弯曲菌抗原可快速获得结果。然而,其特异性令人担忧。EIA 与培养的验证研究显示阳性预测值(PPV)为 91%,而在常规诊断检测中 PPV 降至 42%。我们建议所有阳性 EIA 结果均通过培养确认。
