Objective:To understand the application of microscopic scanners in detecting the false positive and negative results of acid-fast bacilli in clinical smear samples, to optimize the instrument detection parameters, and to continuously improve the detection accuracy.Methods:The data from Guangzhou Chest Hospital were studied from December 2019 to June 2020. For the clinical samples from sputum, bronchoscopy flushing fluid, pleural effusion, cerebrospinal fluid, and joint effusion, direct smears were performed on their glass slides provided with the instrument as required. The dried smears were stained for auramine O fluorescence. Manual retest was performed on all the instrument-reported positive smears, and about 15% of the instrument-reported negative smears were randomly selected. The false positive and negative rates were described as categorical data. For those with false negative results, the position of the manually retested acid-fast bacilli in the smear was marked with a microscope slide clip coordinate ruler, and the locations inside and outside the scanning area of the instrument were estimated.Results:Among the 5 284 smears, 1 290 cases were reported positive by the instrument, and 850 cases were reported positive by manual retest, with a false positive rate of 34.11% (440/1 290). Six hundred and sixty-five negative smear samples reported by the instrument were randomly checked, and 100 cases were reported positive by manual retest, with a false negative rate of 15.04%. The false negative results included 38 cases ±, 50 cases 1+, 6 cases 2+, 4 cases 3+, and 2 cases 4+. Among the false-negative smears, 42 cases of acid-fast bacteria were found in the scanning area of the instrument, and 58 cases outside the area. The false negative rates of the two were 6.32% (42/665) and 8.72% (58/665), respectively.Conclusion:The detection of acid-fast bacilli in clinical samples by microscopic scanners has certain false positive and negative rates. The instrument scanning parameters should be continuously improved, and the laboratory manual retest procedures should be strengthened.
目的探究结核分枝杆菌RNA恒温扩增实时荧光检测技术(SAT-TB)检测支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)对涂阴肺结核的诊断价值。方法对本院涂阴疑似肺结核患者进行筛查,共有80例患者进入最后分析,痰涂片连续3次阴性者进入研究,行培养法(Bactec MGIT 960)及SAT-TB检测,同时进行诊断。分别以培养法(BD960)及以临床诊断作为参考标准,计算SAT-TB法诊断涂阴肺结核的敏感度、特异度、阳性预测值及阴性预测值。结果以培养法(BD960)作为参考标准,SAT-TB诊断涂阴肺结核的敏感度为53.3%(8/15),特异度为88.2%(15/17),阳性预测值80.0%(8/10),阴性预测值68.1%(15/22)。以临床诊断作为参考标准,SAT-TB诊断涂阴肺结核的敏感度31.7%(20/63)、特异度88.2%(15/17)、阳性预测值91.0%(20/22)、阴性预测值25.9%(15/58)。SAT-TB的检测时间约2 h,快于培养法(BD960)的平均阳性报告时间14.1 d。结论 SAT-TB可通过检测BALF为涂阴肺结核患者提供一项敏感度相对于快速培养法(BD960法)较有优势的实验室辅助诊断方法。
