Experience with the rapid Directigen test for influenza.
OBJECTIVE To determine the sensitivity and positive predictive value of the Becton-Dickson Directigen AB performed on-site in a nursing home compared to viral culture. SETTING A 721-bed skilled nursing facility for veterans and spouses. DESIGN MEASUREMENTS: Nasopharyngeal specimens were obtained with a low clinical threshold from residents during 3 influenza seasons for rapid antigen testing ...
متن کاملRapid influenza H1N1 diagnostic test: its diagnostic property
To the editor: The report on assessment of diagnostic properties of rapid influenza H1N1 diagnostic test demonstrated an interesting finding that ‘Rapid tests have high specificity but low sensitivity and thus limited usefulness’. The metaanalysis in this work might have some problems. As different rapid influenza H1N1 diagnostic tests have different basic principles, the use of overall sensiti...
متن کاملLow sensitivity of rapid diagnostic test for influenza.
The QuickVue Influenza A+B Test (Quidel) was used to test nasal swab specimens obtained from persons with influenza-like illness in 3 different populations. Compared with reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, the test sensitivity was low for all populations (median, 27%; range, 19%-32%), whereas the specificity was high (median, 97%; range, 96%-99.6%).
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of a Rapid Influenza Test for Pandemic Influenza A H1N1
BACKGROUND With the current influenza A H1N1 pandemic (H1N1pdm), it is extremely important that clinicians can quickly and accurately identify influenza cases. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To investigate the performance of the QuickVue Influenza A+B rapid test, we conducted a prospective study of the diagnostic accuracy of the QuickVue Influenza A+B test compared to real-time reverse transc...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of a rapid influenza diagnostic test for the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus.
We evaluated a new rapid influenza diagnostic test for the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus by using real-time reverse transcription-PCR (rRT-PCR) and viral culture. The sensitivities were 68.5% and 64.5%, and the specificities were 98.4% and 97.6%, respectively. This kit should be used with caution, and negative results should be verified by a confirmative test.
