An improved ELISA, the LKB UltroBact Pneumococcus Kit detecting pneumococcal C-polysaccharide, has been tested. Sputum samples from 72 patients with community acquired pneumonia were included in the study. The sensitivity obtained was 96.1% and the specificity 92.6%. This ELISA might offer a useful diagnostic method in major clinical microbiologic laboratories for demonstrating Streptococcus pneumonia in sputa from patients with pneumonia.
一种经过改进的酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA),即用于检测肺炎球菌C多糖的LKB UltroBact肺炎球菌试剂盒,已经过测试。该研究纳入了72例社区获得性肺炎患者的痰液样本。获得的灵敏度为96.1%,特异性为92.6%。这种ELISA法可能会为主要临床微生物实验室提供一种有用的诊断方法,用于在肺炎患者的痰液中检测肺炎链球菌。
