Abstract

Objectives: Influenza (flu) causes seasonal epidemics and has led to numerous pandemics worldwide. Its rapid diagnosis and treatment are critical. This study evaluated the correlation between rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) results and clinical reflection. Materials and Methods: A total of 795 patients who were performed the RIDT during the 2018-2019 influenza season were included. According to the test results, the patients were then divided into two groups. The Flu+ group was composed of patients with positive diagnostic test results, while the Flu- group was those with negative test results. Results: The data of 795 patients with 248 positive RIDTs were compared with the data of 547 patients with negative test results. Fever was present in 199 (80.2%) patients in the Flu+ group and in 209 (38.2%) patients in the Flu- group (p

Özet

Amaç: Grip, mevsimsel salgınlara ve dünya çapında çok sayıda pandemiye yol açar. Bu nedenle hızlı teşhis ve tedavisi önemlidir. Bu çalışmada influenza hızlı tanı testleri (RIDT) sonuçları ile klinik arasındaki korelasyon değerlendirildi. Gereç ve Yöntem: 2018-2019 influenza sezonunda hastanemizde RIDT yapılan toplam 795 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Test sonuçlarına göre hastalar iki gruba ayrıldı. Tanı testi sonucu pozitif olan hastalar influenza pozitif (Flu+) gruba, tanı testi sonucu negatif olan hastalar influenza negatif (Flu-) gruba dahil edildi. Bulgular: RIDT’si pozitif olan 248 hastanın verileri, tanı testi sonucu negatif olan 547 hastanın verileri ile karşılaştırıldı. Ateş, Flu+ grupta 199 (%80,2), Flu- grupta 209 (%38,2) hastada mevcuttu (p
