Nucleic acid amplification tests for diagnosis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae oropharyngeal infections.
The optimal methods for the diagnosis of pharyngeal Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection are uncertain. The objective of this study was to define the performance of culture and nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for the diagnosis of pharyngeal N. gonorrhoeae. In this cross-sectional study, males and females >15 years old who acknowledged performing fellatio or cunnilingus (in the previous 2 mo...
متن کاملNucleic acid amplification tests for diagnosis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis rectal infections.
It is uncertain which methods for the diagnosis of rectal gonococcal and chlamydial infection are optimal. This study evaluated the performance of culture and nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for rectal chlamydial and gonococcal diagnosis. From July 2003 until February 2007, 441 rectal test sets were collected from individuals attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic and three HI...
متن کاملNucleic Acid amplification tests for diagnosis of Bordetella infections.
The global epidemiology of pertussis has recently been reviewed (12, 15). Bordetella pertussis continues to circulate even in populations where high vaccination coverage of infants and children is achieved (15, 23), because the protection after natural infection wanes after 10 to 15 years and protection after vaccination lasts for 6 to 10 years (15). A significant increase of pertussis cases wa...
متن کاملIncreased testing for Neisseria gonorrhoeae with duplex nucleic acid amplification tests in Australia: implications for surveillance.
UNLABELLED Background Gonorrhoea notifications have been increasing in Australia's cities, in both men and women. We investigated if this could be, at least in part, a result of a testing artefact. METHODS We surveyed 28 laboratories that were known to test for both Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) to determine their testing and reporting practices, and when these pra...
متن کاملSensitivity and Specificity of Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification Method for Diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Abstract Background and Objective: Culture, microscopic method is a gold standard method for identification of Lishmania parasite. The use of Molecular methods such as RT- PCR compared to microscopic methods has a higher sensitivity and specificity however, it is not widely used due to its expensive equipment and the time requested. The use of nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA) ...
