Over 5 days, 120 schoolchildren from two schools in the remote Kimberley region of Australia were screened for Strep A pharyngitis. Molecular point-of-care testing identified Strep A pharyngitis in 13/18 (72.2%) symptomatic children. The portability and feasibility of molecular point-of-care testing was highly practical for remote settings.
在5天时间里,对澳大利亚偏远金伯利地区两所学校的120名学童进行了A组链球菌性咽炎筛查。即时分子检测在18名有症状的儿童中发现了13例(72.2%)A组链球菌性咽炎。即时分子检测的便携性和可行性在偏远地区非常实用。
