During a 9-month period, we evaluated the relative sensitivity of throat and nasopharyngeal swab cultures for isolation of Bordetella pertussis. Of 38 pertussis cases, 36 (95%) had positive nasopharyngeal cultures, while only 16 of 36 (44%) had positive throat cultures. There were no cases of nasopharyngeal-negative, throat-positive cultures. The sensitivity of the direct fluorescent-antibody test was 70% when compared with culture.
在9个月的时间里,我们评估了咽喉拭子培养和鼻咽拭子培养对百日咳博德特氏菌分离的相对敏感性。在38例百日咳病例中,36例(95%)鼻咽培养呈阳性,而36例中只有16例(44%)咽喉培养呈阳性。没有鼻咽培养阴性、咽喉培养阳性的病例。与培养相比,直接荧光抗体试验的敏感性为70%。
