چکیده
This study has evaluated the performance of a rapid immunochromatographic test (ICT) device in detecting antibodies to Dengue virus (DENV) in a tertiary hospital in South India. Sera from hospital attendees, with requests for DENV antibody testing, were tested with the Panbio Dengue Duo Cassette and a reference antibody capture assay for the detection of IgM (Dengue IgM capture ELISA-National Institute of Virology, India) and IgG (Dengue IgG capture ELISA-Panbio Diagnostics Inc., Australia) antibodies. The ICT results were compared with results of antibody capture tests for the detection of the IgM and IgG antibodies, respectively. Accuracy indices for IgM and IgG detection, respectively were -- sensitivity 81.8% and 87.5%, specificity 75.0%, and 66.6%, positive predictive value (PPV) 61.0% and 72.9% and negative predictive value (NPV) 89.6% and 83.9%. The device performs poorly in detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to DENVs and is not recommended for use as a stand-alone diagnostic test.

متن کاملPrevalence and Haemolytic Significance of Red Cell Antibodies among Dangerous Universal Donors in a Tertiary Care Hospital in South India
Background and Aims: A subgroup of group O individuals called ‘dangerous universal donors’ have immune (IgG) anti A and anti B antibodies which are active at 37˚C and capable of reacting with the red cells and causing lysis. The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of dangerous O group among the voluntary donor population and to assess the relation between the degree of haemolysis and t...

In reference to the article by Vaughn et al. published in the January 1998 issue (6), we have also used the rapid immunochromatographic assay for detection of dengue immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies (PanBio, Brisbane, Australia) in the serologic evaluation of a febrile outbreak in Delhi, India, in 1997. India has witnessed dengue epidemics since the last century, but cases with hemorrh...

We are in agreement with the reported usefulness, in Taiwan, of the rapid, point-of-care laboratory diagnosis of dengue virus (DENV) infection employing the commercial non-structural protein 1 (NS1) Ag STRIP (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Maines-la-Couqette, France). In endemic areas, concurrent testing for DENV NS1 antigen and IgG and IgM, if accompanied by an estimation of platelet counts, would ensu...

BACKGROUND Dengue virus (DENV) infection is an emerging arboviral infection in tropical and sub-tropical countries in South-East Asia, the Western Pacific and South and Central America. Secondary DENV infection is the most widely accepted risk factor for the development of severe forms. Methods to discriminate primary and secondary DENV infection may be of great prognostic value. ELISA based de...
