Roddey et al have reported an important study on the sensitivity and specificity of the Strep A OIA test compared with two culture techniques—5% sheep blood agar and Todd-Hewitt broth—in an office practice setting. They found the sensitivity and specificity of OIA as compared with sheep blood culture to be 91.4% and 95.6%, and compared with the broth method, 90.4% and 94.1%, respectively. They conclude that the OIA method is preferable for the majority of their patients, but recommend a throat culture be performed in cases with a negative OIA test.
