متن کاملRapid Influenza Antigen Test for Diagnosis of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009
We compared the QuickVue Influenza test with PCR for diagnosing pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in 404 persons with influenza-like illness. Overall sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 66%, 84%, 84%, and 64%, respectively. Rapid test results should be interpreted cautiously when pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus is suspected.
متن کاملThe Clinical Usefulness of the SD Bioline Influenza Antigen Test® for Detecting the 2009 Influenza A (H1N1) Virus
Though the 2009 worldwide influenza A (H1N1) pandemic has been declared to have ended, the influenza virus is expected to continue to circulate from some years as a seasonal influenza. A rapid antigen test (RAT) can aid in rapid diagnosis and allow for early antiviral treatment. We evaluated the clinical usefulness of RAT using SD Bioline Influenza Antigen Test® kit to detect the influenza viru...
متن کاملPoor Clinical Sensitivity of Rapid Antigen Test for Influenza A Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Virus
Influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus RNA was detected by reverse transcription-PCR in 144 clinical samples from Bonn, Germany. A common rapid antigen-based test detected the virus in only 11.1% of these samples. The paramount feature of rapid test-positive samples was high virus concentration. Antigen-based rapid tests appear unsuitable for virologic diagnostics in the current pandemic.
متن کاملDevelopment of Direct Sandwich ELISA test for Detection of Rotavirus in Clinical Specimen
Background and Aims: Rotaviruses are one of the main causative agents of acute viral gastroenteritis in both young human and animals. Several methods have been used for diagnosis of rotavirus infection. Most of these methods are not easily available in Iran. Methods: In our study attempt was made to develop a method which could replace the commercially imported Kit. Rota virus was purified and...
