Candida agglutinin and precipitin tests were performed on a group of burned patients without evidence of systemic candidiasis to determine whether tests could be used to distinguish between colonization and systemic disease, as has recently been reported. There were considerable numbers of false-positive results using both tests. These false-positive results occurred regardless of the candida colonization status of the patient. We conclude that these tests are of little diagnostic value in burn patients.
对一组无系统性念珠菌病证据的烧伤患者进行了念珠菌凝集素和沉淀素试验,以确定这些试验是否可用于区分定植和系统性疾病,正如最近所报道的那样。两种试验均出现了相当数量的假阳性结果。无论患者的念珠菌定植状态如何,都会出现这些假阳性结果。我们得出结论,这些试验在烧伤患者中几乎没有诊断价值。
