A counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) method for antigen detection using monoclonal antibody was assessed for its ability to aid in the rapid diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis in 59 patients. A positive diagnosis from a combination of results from tests of serum and urine was obtained in 51 (87%) of cases. For sera, CIE had a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 94%; for urine samples the sensitivity was 81% and a specificity of 100%. Antigen detection by CIE is simple to perform and yields results on the same day, thus allowing treatment to begin at an early stage.
评估了一种使用单克隆抗体进行抗原检测的对流免疫电泳(CIE)方法在协助快速诊断59例百日咳博德特氏菌患者方面的能力。51例(87%)病例通过血清和尿液检测结果相结合得出阳性诊断。对于血清,CIE的敏感性为85%,特异性为94%;对于尿液样本,敏感性为81%,特异性为100%。通过CIE进行抗原检测操作简单,当天即可得出结果,从而能够在早期开始治疗。
