Primary care physicians are frequently called upon to diagnose and treat streptococcal illness. Group A beta-hemolytic species have been associated with serious complications, making accurate diagnosis important to the clinician. This study was designed to compare a new test using a fluorescent tag with the traditional blood agar-bacitracin disc method and the capillary precipitin test. The fluorescent test for group A beta-hemolytic streptococci has been shown to be rapid and simple to perform. More important, the sensitivity and specificity appear to be equal to the capillary precipitin test and superior to the commonly used blood agar-bacitracin disc method.
基层医疗医生经常需要诊断和治疗链球菌疾病。A 组β溶血性菌种与严重并发症有关，因此准确诊断对临床医生很重要。本研究旨在比较一种使用荧光标记的新检测方法与传统的血琼脂 - 杆菌肽纸片法和毛细管沉淀素试验。A 组β溶血性链球菌的荧光检测已被证明操作快速且简单。更重要的是，其敏感性和特异性似乎与毛细管沉淀素试验相当，且优于常用的血琼脂 - 杆菌肽纸片法。
