Comparison of nasopharyngeal culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serological test for diagnosis of pertussis.
This prospective study, which was designed to compare nasopharyngeal culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serology in the diagnosis of pertussis, covered 35 children aged between 0 and 16 who were admitted to Hacettepe University Ihsan Doğramaci Children's Hospital between 1 March 2005 and 31 August 2006 with coughing for 7 days or longer, paroxysmal cough of any duration, or cough with...

متن کاملDuration of Bordetella pertussis Polymerase Chain Reaction Positivity in Confirmed Pertussis Illness.
Pertussis cases have been increasing in the United States for the past 40 years. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is now the preferred method of diagnosis, but little is known about duration of PCR positivity. We conducted a pilot study using serial B pertussis PCR testing to determine duration of PCR positivity. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis suggested a median duration of 58 days (inte...
متن کاملComparative efficacy of serological diagnostic methods and evaluation of polymerase chain reaction for diagnosis of bovine brucellosis
The aim of present study was to compare the diagnostic performance of the different Brucella abortus antigen based serological and molecular tests such as Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 89 samples, 44 were positive by I-ELISA, 18 by RBPT and 21 by PCR. Substantial agreement was observed between PCR ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Bordetella pertussis pertactin and pertussis toxin types from Queensland, Australia, 1999–2003
BACKGROUND In Australia two acellular Bordetella pertussis vaccines have replaced the use of a whole cell vaccine. Both of the licensed acellular vaccines contain the following three components; pertussis toxoid, pertussis filamentous haemagglutinin and the 69 kDa pertactin adhesin. One vaccine also contains pertussis fimbriae 2 and 3. Various researchers have postulated that herd immunity due ...
