We evaluated a point-of-care test for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in patients attending a public health clinic in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The test showed a low sensitivity against PCR and culture (<40%); however, a higher specificity was observed (>95%). This test is unsuitable as a screening tool for gonorrhea.
我们评估了一种即时检测方法,用于检测南非夸祖鲁 - 纳塔尔省一家公共卫生诊所患者中的淋病奈瑟菌。该检测方法对聚合酶链反应(PCR)和培养法显示出较低的敏感性(<40%);然而,观察到较高的特异性(>95%)。这种检测方法不适宜作为淋病的筛查工具。
