To the Editor.— In the March 1992 issue of Pediatrics, Freed and Fraley published an article entitled, "Lack of Agreement of Tympanic Membrane Temperature Assessments with Conventional Methods in a Private Practice Setting."1 This study concluded that the FIRST Temp thermometer was unreliable, compared with conventional methods of temperature-taking in the private pediatric setting. I would like to raise two methodologic concerns which may have influenced their results. Under "Methods," the authors state that their tympanic thermometer provided a choice of two modes: "tympanic" and "surface," They further state that the tympanic mode was used for all temperature measurements.

Group A

Redd and co-workers found the sensitivity of their rapid diagnostic test for group A streptococcal pharyngitis to be 62.8% and its specificity to be 96.9%. Furthermore, the positive predictive value of the test was determined to be 91.5%, sufficiently high to significantly influence the care provided to their patients. We strongly disagree with the authors' conclusion that their findings can be extrapolated to the general pediatric setting. Bayes theorem clearly relates a test's positive predictive value to its sensitivity as well as to the prevalence of true disease in the population.
