Varicella zoster virus DNA in throat swabs of vaccinees.
Ninety throat swabs from 30 healthy children who received varicella vaccine were tested for varicella zoster virus DNA by the polymerase chain reaction. Seroconversion was observed in 27 of 30 (90%) vaccinees. The positive rates were 7.4% (2/27) at one week and 0% (0/27) at four weeks after vaccination. These rates were considerably lower than those in normal children with varicella.
متن کاملShort report: Can mouth swabs replace throat swabs? Cross-sectional survey of the effectiveness of rapid streptococcal swabs of the buccal mucosa.
• Les frottis de la muqueuse buccale utilisant un test rapide de détection d’antigènes se sont montrés inefficaces. Streptococcal sore throat—group A β−hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis—accounts for 5% to 24% of patients complaining of sore throats, a frequent presentation in primary care.1 Several strategies for assessment of sore throat exist, including examination by a physician,1,2 sore t...
متن کاملComparing Molecular Methods for Early Detection and Serotyping of Enteroviruses in Throat Swabs of Pediatric Patients
BACKGROUND Enteroviruses include over 100 serotypes and usually cause self-limited infections with non-specific symptoms in children, with the exceptions of polioviruses and enterovirus 71 which frequently cause neurologic complications. Therefore, early detection and serotyping of enteroviruses are critical in clinical management and disease surveillance. Traditional methods for detection and ...
متن کاملDetection of group A streptococci in throat swabs by direct fluorometry.
A direct fluorometric test for the rapid detection of group A streptococci from throat swabs was compared with the microscopic fluorescent-antibody test. Formalinized throat swab cultures (490) were examined by the two methods, and the results agreed on 84% of the specimens. In another comparison, 15-hr broth cultures of 103 freshly taken throat swabs were tested by both methods. Of the specime...
متن کاملEnhanced detection of Legionnaires' disease by PCR testing of induced sputum and throat swabs.
Legionnaires’ disease, particularly that caused by non-pneumophila species, is notoriously underdiagnosed [1, 2]. We recently found a four-fold increase in case detection of Legionnaires’ disease through a laboratory-initiated strategy of systematic PCR testing for Legionella species of all lower respiratory specimens from patients with pneumonia or immune compromised status [3]. This strategy ...
