Optimal Timing of Specimen Collection after Rash Onset for Diagnosis of Measles IgM Antibody
Antibody detection is the most versatile and commonly used method for measles diagnosis. Detection of specific IgM antibodies in a single serum specimen collected within the appropriate time after rash onset can provide a good presumptive diagnosis of current or recent measles infection and is the test of choice for rapid diagnosis of measles cases. So, optimal timing for collection of a sing...
متن کاملFalse-positive result provided by rapid heterophile antibody test in a case of acute infection with hepatitis E virus.
The presence of heterophile antibodies has a high specificity for infectious mononucleosis. These antibodies can be detected by rapid agglutination assays, but false-positive results have occasionally been reported for several conditions, including leukemia, rubella, malaria, systemic lupus erythematosus, pancreatic carcinoma, viral hepatitis, and human immunodeficiency virus infection (1–3). A...
متن کاملIgM antibody response in acute hepatitis C viral infection.
IgM antibody against hepatitis C virus (IgM anti-HCV) was measured in serial samples from 15 transfusion recipients in whom posttransfusion chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANBH) developed and three plasmapheresis donors during acute HCV infection using recombinant proteins derived from three immunodominant regions: core, NS-3, and NS-4 (c100). IgM anti-HCV core was detected in 13 of 15 posttra...
متن کاملFalse-positive IgM serology in coccidioidomycosis.
The clinical observation has been made that there might be an unacceptable number of false-positive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test results for IgM among persons suspected of having coccidioidomycosis. Patients with a positive result for IgM by EIA are thought to have a diagnosis of acute coccidioidomycosis. However, this study found that 82% of patients with an IgM-positive and IgG-negative EIA ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the presence of false-positive antibodies in acute hepatitis.
Although false-positive antibodies (FPAs) have been well described in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV), this has not been evaluated in acute viral hepatitis. Patients with acute viral hepatitis underwent antibody testing for other causes of liver disease and sexually transmitted diseases. Those with antibody positivity underwent confirmatory testing and monitoring. Patients with FPAs were compar...
