102 名健康良好的冈比亚儿童中，有 49 名的尿液中存在肺炎球菌抗原。 102 例中，89 例为鼻咽部肺炎球菌携带者。携带的阳性预测值为96%，阴性预测值为22%。该测试对于预测鼻咽部肺炎球菌携带率高的人群的疾病病因无用。
Pneumococcal antigen was present in urine from 49 of 102 well Gambian children. Eighty-nine of the 102 were nasopharyngeal carriers of pneumococci. The positive predictive value for carriage was 96%, and the negative predictive value was 22%. The test is not useful for predicting etiology of disease in populations with a high rate of nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococci.
