RESUMO
In this small study, the LightCycler® SeptiFast, and the SepsiTest™ were compared with blood culture. The SeptiFast showed a higher sensitivity (42.9%) and specificity (88.2%) when compared to blood culture than the SepsiTest™ (28.6 and 85.3%). The SeptiFast provides more species specific results, although the identification panel is smaller.
