This prospective study was performed to evaluate and compare the performance of the multiplex PCR Seeplex assays and Anyplex™ II assays. From May 2014 until April 2016, a total of 247 respiratory samples were collected in Okinawa, Japan. Multiple respiratory pathogens were detected in 37% of patients with positive results. The most prevalent pathogens were influenza A virus and respiratory syncytial virus B. Despite minor differences in capabilities, both the Seeplex assays and Anyplex™ II assays can be easily implemented in diagnostic or research laboratories to optimize the detection and management of respiratory pathogen induced diseases.
本前瞻性研究旨在评估和比较多重PCR Seeplex检测法和Anyplex™ II检测法的性能。2014年5月至2016年4月期间,在日本冲绳共采集了247份呼吸道样本。37%检测结果呈阳性的患者中检测到多种呼吸道病原体。最常见的病原体是甲型流感病毒和呼吸道合胞病毒B型。尽管在功能上存在细微差异,但Seeplex检测法和Anyplex™ II检测法都可以在诊断或研究实验室中轻松实施,以优化对呼吸道病原体所致疾病的检测和管理。
