False‐Positive Rapid Antigen Detection Test Results: Reduced Specificity in the Absence of Group A Streptococci in the Upper Respiratory Tract

1 Apr 2001

Abstract excerpt

Rapid antigen detection tests (ADTs) are promoted for identification of group A streptococci (GAS) in the upper respiratory tract. Although debate persists about their sensitivity, most investigators consider ADTs to be highly specific. Nevertheless, reports continue to describe false-positive ADT results (positive ADT result, negative culture result). This study examined culture results from 522 adult patients...
