Use of an immunoglobulin G avidity test to discriminate between primary and secondary dengue virus infections.

چکیده
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody avidity test was evaluated by using sera from 57 patients with acute dengue infection. Overall, 55 of 57 patients were correctly classified (27 of 27 with primary dengue and 28 of 30 with secondary dengue). We conclude that the IgG avidity test can be useful for differentiating between acute, primary, and secondary dengue infections.

Discrimination between primary and secondary dengue virus infection by an immunoglobulin G avidity test using a single acute-phase serum sample.
For clinical and epidemiological purposes, it is necessary to be able to classify serological responses during dengue virus infection. Thus, it is important to develop a test that can distinguish between primary and secondary serological responses. The hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test, which is currently recommended by the World Health Organization, is complicated to perform. We developed ...
متن کاملDiscrimination between primary and secondary dengue virus infection by using an immunoglobulin G avidity test
Discrimination between primary and secondary dengue infections is important, as the possibility of DHF is more in secondary infection. Therefore, there is need to develop a test that can distinguish between primary and secondary serological responses. The traditionally-used haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test, which is recommended by the World Health Organization, is complicated to perform. ...
متن کاملUse of four dengue virus antigens for determination of dengue immune status by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of immunoglobulin G avidity.
We used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of immunoglobulin G avidity to determine the dengue immune status of 105 pairs of serum samples from patients infected with dengue virus. This study shows that a simple avidity test, for which only one acute-phase serum sample is required, is potentially more useful than the hemagglutination inhibition test for the discrimination of primary f...

Although heterotypic secondary infection with dengue virus (DENV) is associated with severe disease, the majority of secondary infections are mild or asymptomatic. The mechanisms of antibody-mediated protection are poorly understood. In 2010, 108 DENV3-positive cases were enrolled in a pediatric hospital-based study in Managua, Nicaragua, with 61 primary and 47 secondary infections. We analyzed...
متن کاملLaboratory diagnosis in suspected cases of dengue.
We read with interest the paper by Ageep et al,1 in which laboratory investigations at Portsudan, Sudan on suspected cases of dengue during the acute phase of illness were directed to detect dengue virus specific IgM antibody for the disease confirmation. Surely, there would be no doubt regarding the 88% IgM positives, though there might have been odd positives even among those lacking IgM anti...
