Abstract

One hundred and forty fecal specimens were tested for rotavirus using two immunoassays, TESTPACK Rotavirus and Pathfinder Rotavirus. Five discordant specimens were evaluated by a blocking assay. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 98, 100, 100, and 99% for TESTPACK and 92, 100, 100, and 96% for Pathfinder, respectively.
