In this article, we have discussed the basic knowledge to calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive
value and negative predictive value. We have discussed the advantage and limitations of these measures and
have provided how we should use these measures in our day-to-day clinical practice. We also have illustrated
how to calculate sensitivity and specificity while combining two tests and how to use these results for our
patients in day-to-day practice.
Excisional biopsy is recommended for subconjunctival cysticercosis. Idiopathic cystic myositis can present like EOM cysticercosis, but is differentiated by resolution with corticosteroid treatment. Medical therapy in orbital cysticercosis with oral albendazole and corticosteroids can arrest recurrent inflammation and improve ocular motility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
