Abstract

Affordable, easy-to-use and rapid diagnostics may support a move away from syndromic management for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in resource-constrained settings. A lateral flow assay for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG-LFA) has shown high sensitivity and specificity (>90%) in symptomatic individuals. We investigated the performance and acceptability of this assay as a screening tool for NG among pregnant women. This evaluation was embedded within a prospective study evaluating point-of-care STI screening in pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) in Harare, Zimbabwe. Participants were included regardless of symptom status, ANC visit number, or gestational age. Nurse-collected vaginal swabs were tested on-site using the NG-LFA and the Xpert CT/NG assay (Xpert) (reference test). The implementation team members (n=4) were interviewed to assess acceptability and usability of NG-LFA. Of 912 participants, 4.8% (44/912) self-reported presence of abnormal vaginal discharge. Xpert NG prevalence was 4.2% (38/912); 81.6% (31/38) of infections were asymptomatic. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (NPV) of the NG-LFA were 65.8% (25/38; 95% CI 48.6%-80.4%), 99.2% (867/874; 95% CI 98.4-99.7%), 78.1% (25/32; 95% CI 60.0-90.7%), and 98.5% (867/880; 95% CI 97.5-99.2%). The NG-LFA was considered easy-to-use and interpret but discordant results led to issues of trust in the NG-LFA results. Among predominantly asymptomatic pregnant women, the NG-LFA had high specificity, but relatively low sensitivity meaning one in three cases of gonorrhoea were not detected. Further studies are warranted to assess the clinical performance and cost-effectiveness of the NG-LFA in other settings and populations.

摘要

价格实惠、易于使用且快速的诊断方法可能有助于在资源有限的环境中摆脱对性传播感染(STIs)的症状性管理。一种用于淋病奈瑟菌的侧向流动检测法(NG-LFA)在有症状个体中显示出高灵敏度和特异性(>90%)。我们调查了该检测法作为孕妇淋病筛查工具的性能和可接受性。这项评估纳入了一项前瞻性研究,该研究评估了在津巴布韦哈拉雷接受产前护理(ANC)的孕妇的即时性传播感染筛查。无论症状状态、产前检查次数或孕周如何,参与者均被纳入。护士采集的阴道拭子使用NG-LFA和Xpert CT/NG检测法(Xpert,参考检测法)进行现场检测。对实施团队成员(n = 4)进行了访谈,以评估NG-LFA的可接受性和易用性。在912名参与者中,4.8%(44/912)自我报告有异常阴道分泌物。Xpert检测出的淋病患病率为4.2%(38/912);81.6%(31/38)的感染无症状。NG-LFA的灵敏度、特异性、阳性预测值和阴性预测值(NPV)分别为65.8%(25/38;95%CI 48.6%-80.4%)、99.2%(867/874;95%CI 98.4-99.7%)、78.1%(25/32;95%CI 60.0-90.7%)和98.5%(867/880;95%CI 97.5-99.2%)。NG-LFA被认为易于使用和解读,但结果不一致导致对NG-LFA结果的信任问题。在主要为无症状的孕妇中,NG-LFA具有高特异性,但灵敏度相对较低,这意味着三分之一的淋病病例未被检测到。有必要进行进一步研究,以评估NG-LFA在其他环境和人群中的临床性能和成本效益。
