Sensitivity and specificity of a lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) in serum samples for diagnosis of melioidosis

摘要

Background: Culture is the gold standard for the diagnosis of melioidosis, an infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Here we evaluate a lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) to detect B. pseudomallei capsular polysaccharide (CPS) in serum samples.
