Popis:	We evaluated the positive predictive value (PPV) of rapid assays used by clinical laboratories in Minnesota to diagnose cryptosporidiosis. The overall PPV was 56% for rapid assays versus 97% for nonrapid assays; clinicians and laboratorians need to be aware of the low PPV of rapid assays when diagnosing cryptosporidiosis.
