Women participating in studies in Brazil (n = 695) and South Africa (n = 230) performed rapid point-of-care tests for Trichomonas vaginalis on self-collected vaginal swabs. Using PCR as the gold standard, rapid self-testing achieved high specificity (99.1%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 98.2 to 99.6%) and moderate sensitivity (76.7%; 95% CI, 61.4 to 88.2%). These tests may be considered an alternative to syndromic management in resource-poor settings.
参与巴西(n=695)和南非(n=230)研究的女性使用自我采集的阴道拭子进行生殖道毛滴虫的快速即时检测。以 PCR 作为金标准,快速自我检测具有高特异性(99.1%;95%置信区间 [CI],98.2 至 99.6%)和中等敏感性(76.7%;95% CI,61.4 至 88.2%)。这些检测方法可能被视为在资源匮乏环境中替代综合征管理的一种方法。
