Rapid detection methods in microbiology: are they right for your office?
Med Clin North Am.
1987 Jul.
Abstract
This article discusses some of the direct test methods for diagnosing Group A streptococcal pharyngitis, urinary tract infection, and the three most common sexually transmitted diseases: gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Herpes simplex virus infection. Emphasis is placed on their practicality for the office setting as well as the limitations of the test methods in various patient populations.
