Detection of mecA and 16S rRNA Genes Using Real-Time PCR Can Be Useful in Diagnosing Iliopsoas Abscess, Especially in Culture-Negative Cases: RT-PCR for Iliopsoas Abscess

Table 3

Accuracy of real-time PCR for diagnosis of iliopsoas abscess and detection of MRS infection.

	Sensitivity	Specificity	PPV	NPV	Accuracy
16S rRNA-PCR	0.91	1.00	1.00	0.67	0.92
MRS-PCR	1.00	0.92	1.00	0.50	0.92

NPV: negative predictive value; PCR: polymerase chain reaction; PPV: positive predictive value.
