Description
Yunfei Yang and co-authors validate a rapid PCR card for diagnosing microbial eye infection in a 2024 study. Corneal infection needs fast organism identification, but culture can take up to a week. Their custom card tests one corneal sample against ninety six organisms at once.
Patients referred to a Cambridge hospital gave samples split between the card and standard culture. The card found a causative microbe in the same share of samples as culture, about forty four percent, within six to twenty four hours. Combined, the two methods detected microbes in about two thirds of samples. Agreement between methods was moderate.
