Clinical Evaluation of the VirClia IgM/IgG Chemiluminescence Tests for the Diagnosis of Tick-Borne Encephalitis in an Endemic Part of Norway.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of VirClia IgM/IgG single-assay chemiluminescence tests for the diagnosis of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in an endemic part of Norway. Patients hospitalized at Vestfold or Telemark Hospitals with suspected infection in the central nervous system (CNS) in the period between May 2021 and December 2023 were included, with 85 TBE cases identified. The VirClia IgM assay was positive in the initial serum sample in 75/85 cases, giving a sensitivity of 88.2% (95% CI, 79.4-94.2). The ReaScan TBE IgM rapid test was positive in 80/85 cases, with an estimated sensitivity of 94.1% (95% CI, 86.8-98.1). Vaccine breakthrough infections were the predominant cause of non-reactive IgM cases. The calculated specificity for the VirClia IgM was 95.8% (95% CI, 92.5-98.0). In conclusion, the sensitivity of the VirClia IgM was non-inferior to the ReaScan TBE IgM rapid test. However, isolated IgM reactive results must be interpreted with caution, since false-reactive results occur.
期刊介绍:
Viruses (ISSN 1999-4915) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies of viruses. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, conference reports and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. We also encourage the publication of timely reviews and commentaries on topics of interest to the virology community and feature highlights from the virology literature in the ''News and Views'' section. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
