Abstract:

Objective

To compare the detection results of the samples from the patients with lower respiratory tract infections with multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay (MRT-PCR) and indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA).

Methods

The samples of the infected lower respiratory tract were taken from 210 patients in our hospital during January 2014 to December 2017. The samples were detected by MRT-PCR and IFA, respectively, and then received sequencing analysis. Then the sensitivity and specificity of the two kinds of assays were compared.

Results

The positive rates of the pathogens in the 210 samples for the MRT-PCR and IFA were 58.57% and 38.10%, respectively, and the mixed infection rates were 7.62% and 4.76%, respectively. The sensitivities for the MRT-PCR and IFA were 94.74% and 35.96%, respectively, and the specificities for the MRT-PCR and IFA were 84.38% and 59.38%, respectively. There were significant differences in the sensitivities and specificities of the two kinds of assays (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Compared with the IFA assay, the MRT-PCR assay has a higher sensitivity and a higher specificity in the detection of the pathogens in the lower respiratory tract infections.
