Sentence examples for circulating tests from inspiring English sources

Taken altogether, these ELISAs are highly specific and equally sensitive to the circulating tests.

So far, a range of accuracy measures have been reported for urine reagent tests and for circulating antigen tests.

Index tests—urine and serum circulating antigen tests (CCA and CAA) and urine reagent strips.

As outlined in Appendix 2, current practice in endemic settings is to use urine reagent strips as a replacement for microscopy or as a triage test (before microscopy), or circulating antigen tests as a replacement for microscopy.

To summarise the diagnostic accuracy of: a) urine reagent strip tests in detecting active Schistosoma haematobium infection, with microscopy as the reference standard; and b) circulating antigen tests for detecting active Schistosoma infection in geographical regions endemic for Schistosoma mansoni or S. haematobium or both, with microscopy as the reference standard.

A more reliable way of evaluating whether an index test can replace microscopy would be to compare the accuracy of microscopy, urine reagent strips, and circulating antigen tests against other proposed reference standards in the same set of participants (direct comparison studies).

Urine reagent strips and circulating antigen tests are used as alternatives to microscopy for diagnosis of schistosomiasis.

Additional studies comparing the accuracy of microscopy, circulating antigen tests, and urine reagent strips versus other proposed reference standards are needed if a suitable replacement for microscopy in practice is to be reliably recommended.

This review focused on analyzing the accuracy of urine reagent strips for the diagnosis of S. haematobium and of circulating antigen tests for the detection of S. haematobium and S. mansoni infections.

For suitable tests to be reliably recommended for monitoring effects of praziquantel treatment in disease control programmes, additional follow-up studies are required to evaluate the effects of praziquantel treatment on intensity of infection and accuracy of urine reagent strips and circulating antigen tests.

The results of this analysis correspond to the obtained experimentally with a truck circulating by testing tracks.
