通过现场调查、肥达试验的外部质量评估(EQA)和微生物血培养监测研究，评估了金沙萨(刚果民主共和国)伤寒的诊断。在331/536(61.8%)的医疗机构中，临床医生通过临床照片和肥达试验诊断为TF。由三个样本组成的肥达测验EQA在125个参与实验室中的正确率分别为27.1%、65.6%和3.1%。大多数(152个实验室中的80.9%)进行了
The diagnosis of typhoid fever (TF) in Kinshasa (DR Congo) was assessed by on-site surveys, external quality assessment (EQA) of the Widal test and a microbiological blood culture surveillance study. In 331/536 (61.8%) health facilities, clinicians diagnosed TF by clinical picture and the Widal test. An EQA on the Widal test consisting of three samples revealed correct scores by respectively 27.1%, 65.6% and 3.1% of 125 participating laboratories. Most (80.9% of 152 laboratories) performed
