The Rose-Bengal plate test (RBPT) was performed on 488 patients with flu-like symptoms from Narok district. There was poor agreement between RBPT results from four health facilities in Narok and from the central veterinary laboratory (CVL). Agreement was poorer for the three rural dispensaries than for the District Hospital. On the other hand, for tests conducted at the CVL, there was good agreement between RBPT, serum agglutination test (SAT) and complement fixation test (CFT) results, indicating that all these tests were probably performing well. Better training and quality control and the use of white rather than a clear background surface for judging agglutination results are recommended to improve the performance of test results in Narok District health facilities.
对来自纳罗克地区的488名有流感样症状的患者进行了孟加拉玫瑰红平板试验（RBPT）。纳罗克的四个卫生机构与中央兽医实验室（CVL）的RBPT结果之间一致性较差。三个农村诊疗所的一致性比地区医院的更差。另一方面，在CVL进行的检测中，RBPT、血清凝集试验（SAT）和补体结合试验（CFT）结果之间一致性良好，表明所有这些检测可能都运行良好。建议进行更好的培训和质量控制，并使用白色而非透明背景表面来判断凝集结果，以提高纳罗克地区卫生机构检测结果的性能。
