Comparison of Virus Culturing and Immunofluorescence for Rapid Detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Nasopharyngeal Secretions: Sensitivity and Specificity
AUTOR(ES)
Lauer, Brian A.
RESUMO
I compared the fluorescent antibody test for respiratory syncytial virus in nasal secretions to virus cultures (N = 310). The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value (+) were 95.1%, 86.5%, and 88.5%, respectively.
