Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how accurate the OraQuick® rapid test is for detecting hepatitis C antibodies in oral fluid among a Saudi population.
- Conducted with 60 HCV-positive patients and 100 HCV-negative controls, the test showed 88.33% sensitivity and 100% specificity for detecting HCV antibodies in saliva.
- The findings suggest that oral fluid testing can be an effective, non-invasive method for HCV detection, especially useful in areas with high visitor traffic, like Saudi Arabia, for quick and easy screening.
