美国加利福尼亚大学的一个研究小组报告,在90分钟或更短的时间内,对怀疑为“链球菌咽喉感染”的病人高度准确地诊断出A群β-溶血性链球菌。如果此试验能广泛应用而且在正式临床试验中有效的话,就有可能当天对能引起严重链球菌井发症的喉痛进行治疗,而不必猜疑或进行推测。新试验可以消除许多目前存在的关于链球菌咽喉感染在诊断和治疗上的争论。因为喉拭子培养,由于处理和后勤的问题,有时不是实际可行的。鉴定这些培养物需要一、两天,而 A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles reported a highly accurate diagnosis of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci in patients who are suspected of being “streptococcal throat” in 90 minutes or less. If this test can be widely used and is effective in formal clinical trials, it is possible to treat sore throat that can cause severe streptococcal complications on the same day without any suspicion or speculation. The new test can eliminate many of the current debate about the diagnosis and treatment of streptococcal throat infections. Because laryngeal swab cultures are sometimes not practical due to handling and logistics issues. It takes one or two days to identify these cultures
