The Pacific Biotech CARD STREP A test for rapid screening of throat specimens for group A streptococci was evaluated. Relative to conventional culture, this assay had a sensitivity of 76.1% (108 of 142) and a specificity of 98.7% (392 of 397). The relatively low sensitivity of the test makes it of questionable value as a screening procedure.
对用于快速筛查咽喉标本中 A 组链球菌的太平洋生物科技 CARD STREP A 检测进行了评估。相对于传统培养法,该检测的灵敏度为 76.1%(142 例中的 108 例),特异性为 98.7%(397 例中的 392 例)。该检测相对较低的灵敏度使其作为一种筛查方法的价值存疑。
