The sensitivity of a rapid enzyme immunoassay test (HerpChek Direct Herpes Simplex Virus Antigen Test [DuPont Medical Products, Wilmington, Del.]) for the detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) antigens in patient specimens was compared with HSV culture. HerpChek positivity for HSV occurred with 179 (65%) of 275 lesion specimens, whereas culture for HSV was positive for 145 (53%) lesions (P = 0.002). HerpChek was twice as sensitive as culture for the detection of HSV in late-stage lesions and was equivalent to culture for the detection of HSV in early lesions. We conclude that HerpChek provides greater sensitivity than culture for HSV detection in late-stage genital lesions.
将一种快速酶免疫测定试验(HerpChek直接单纯疱疹病毒抗原检测[杜邦医疗产品公司,特拉华州威尔明顿])用于检测患者标本中单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)抗原的敏感性与HSV培养法进行了比较。275份皮损标本中有179份(65%)的HerpChek检测HSV呈阳性,而HSV培养法检测出145份(53%)皮损呈阳性(P = 0.002)。在检测晚期皮损中的HSV时,HerpChek的敏感性是培养法的两倍,在检测早期皮损中的HSV时,其敏感性与培养法相当。我们得出结论,在检测晚期生殖器皮损中的HSV时,HerpChek比培养法具有更高的敏感性。
