We measured the performance of exposure screening questions to identify Nipah virus encephalitis in hospitalized encephalitis patients during the 2012-13 Nipah virus season in Bangladesh. The sensitivity (93%), specificity (82%), positive predictive value (37%), and negative predictive value (99%) results suggested that screening questions could more quickly identify persons with Nipah virus encephalitis.
我们对2012 - 13年孟加拉国尼帕病毒流行季期间住院脑炎患者中用于识别尼帕病毒脑炎的暴露筛查问题的性能进行了测量。敏感性(93%)、特异性(82%)、阳性预测值(37%)和阴性预测值(99%)的结果表明,筛查问题能够更快地识别出患有尼帕病毒脑炎的患者。
