(b) Table Q1 below provides the results from a study of a rapid diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB). Calculate its sensitivity and specificity. What is the likelihood that a patient tested positive with this test is infected with TB ? Groups TB Non-TB Healthy Controls Total Trustline kit, n Positive Negative 385 53 24 462 243 166 138 547 Table Q1: Clinical performance of the Trustline diagnostic kit for tuberculosis (TB). (non-TB patients are sick patients, but that do not suffer from TB). Taken from Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis (2014) 33:1989-1994 Solution: Sensitivity = 61% Specificity = 79% positive predictive value 83%. So roughly out of 10 positive results, 8 patients will actually have the disease. 2 patients will be wrongly diagnosed.

When a patient exhibits a four-fold or greater rise in antibody titer against a specific microbial antigen between acute-phase and convalescent-phase serum samples, this is considered to be a “seroconversion”. Which of the following would be a correct interpretation of a seroconversion? what option below is the answer? None of the other four answers are a correct interpretation of a seroconversion These results show that the microbe itself has been detected in the patient’s sample(s) These findings cannot be interpreted because antibodies aren’t specific enough for antigens There is no evidence of current active infection because that would require that the antibody titer is decreasing rather than increasing The results show evidence of current or recent infection by the specific microbe because there has been an active immunologic response to its antigen
