A new antibody test detects serum antibodies against virus X (sensitivity 99%, specificity 90%). When applied in a group of hospitalized patients diagnosed as having virus X infections, the test is found to have a positive predictive value of 85%. When used to screen a group of healthy blood donors for virus X infections, the test is found to have a positive predictive value of 30%. Which of the following best explains this difference between the positive predictive values? A....

2. Two simple and inexpensive screening methods have been developed to identify individuals with HIV infection at routine medical check-ups. To study the sensitivity and specificity, both methods were tested on 12860 persons who underwent a simultaneous and thorough clinical examination that was considered to give an accurate diagnosis. There were 1900 cases of disease as diagnosed by clinical methods. The Screening test #1 was positive for a total of 1000 people, including 800 with active HIV infection. The screening...

3. The standard blood test screen for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) detects antibodies to the virus using a laboratory test known as ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). If the ELISA test is run properly under recommended conditions, it has a sensitivity of 99% and a specificity of 99%. a) (4 pts) Assume the HIV-ELISA test is administered to a low-risk community of 100,000 people. By low-risk we mean a population which has an HIV prevalence of 1%. Construct the appropriate...

equal or greater).
A new, rapid blood test [CMZ test] was developed to test febrile patients for viral infection. You are asked to assist with the validation. The CMZ assay was run on 789 febrile people who arrived at the local public hospital seeking medical care. Samples from patients were divided into Opox infected and not infected...

5. A company is testing a new method for screening for Lyme disease. Before offering the test, the company is interested in finding out how Clinically Sensitive and specific it is and found 600 volunteers suspected of having Lyme disease and who were followed up via a physician over a five year period. 500 tested negative for Lyme. Of these, 20 WERE FOUND TO HAVE LYME 100 tested positive for Lyme. However, 10 of these patients...

Researchers hypothesized that Dengue fever infection is associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. At a hospital in South America, 300 women who have experienced a miscarriage in the last two years were identified. 300 women who had a viable pregnancy at the same hospital during the same time frame were identified as controls. Cases and controls were questioned about recent febrile illness and serum was collected and tested for Dengue fever IgM antibodies. Of the 300 women who experienced...
