| Abstract | ||
| One hundred suspected pregnant women were included in this study . Direct latex agglutination test and one step HCG test strip as well as ELISA for determination HCG were performed in all suspected pregnant women . 70% of suspected pregnant women showed positive results in each of direct agglutination test , one step HCG test strip and ELISA but 85% of results showed agreement between one step HCG test strip and ELISA (15% negative + 70% positive) based on a dependable quantitive ELISA , the specificity and sensitivity for one step HCG test strip were 100% , 99% respectively while the specificity and sensitivity for direct latex agglutination were 43% , 82% respectively and the HCG test strip was sensitive to 10mlu/ml also this study indicated that HCG test strip can be yielded positive result after two days from first missed menstrual period in contrast with direct latex agglutination test which need at least 7 day after the first missed menstrual period to give positive result. Finally, this study has confirmed that the one step HCG test strip is the best qualitative method for detection the early pregnancy. | ||
