Pharyngitis Molecular Testing Kit
PHARYNGITIS KIT
Pharyngitis is inflammation of the pharynx, which is in the back of the throat. It is most often referred to simply as a “sore throat.” Pharyngitis can also cause scratchiness in the throat and difficulty swallowing.
Our pharyngitis kit is a comprehensive kit detecting, by molecular technique, the most common pathogens infecting the throat.
SYMPTOMS TO CONSIDER:
- A red throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Dry cough
- Hoarseness
- Redness of the eyes

Footnotes:
- The Amplicon is the amplified piece of DNA which contains the Fwd, Rev and Probe sequence. Sequence between the Fwd, Rev and Probe are also included in Amplicon.
- The BLAST Score describes how similar the Amplicon sequence is to aligned sequences in the non-redundant GenBank Database. The range shown as High/Low reflects the highest and lowest scores for a pathogen that would generate a positive response using this assay.
- The number of sequences reviewed reflect the total number sequences in the non-redundant GenBank database on the date of the analysis. This number will change as new sequences are added to the GenBank database.
- Matches reflect the total number of pathogens identified in the BLAST search that would generate a positive ressponse. Statistically these are the number of True Positives (the diagnostic test would indicates the presence of the correct disease) = TP
- False positive (FP) – Test incorrectly detects the presence of pathogen in a sample that does not contain the pathogen. Shown as an incorrect pathogen in the BLAST analysis with a Score within the High/Low range listed for the assay.
True negative (TN) – Test correctly identifies absence of pathogen. Calculated from BLAST data as the (total number of sequences reviewed) – (total number of pathogens correctly detected or TP).
Specificity = TN / TN + FP
