Kit Performance
It is up to all users to form their own opinion or conclusions on each kit's performance based on the accumulation of data and information that is supplied by this survey, and other information available to the participant. A variety of samples are used in this Program (straight, undiluted serum; diluted serum and pooled serum) and this can sometimes impact on results and performance of some kits. With serum specimens, occasional artefactual problems are encountered with some kits due to changes in the matrix caused by rethrombinisation of plasma or dilution.
Clinical Notes
The “Clinical Notes” were created so as to highlight particular issues relating to interpretation of serological results. They do not necessarily reflect the clinical history of the patient from whom the sample was obtained.
3A Lydia is a 45 year old woman who has recently travelled to India with her partner. Both she and her partner have an illness with similar symptoms including headaches, arthralgia and rash.
3B Dan is a 24 year old who has travelled recently to Indonesia. He has a mild illness with headaches and
diarrhoea.
Request
Please test both specimens for Flavivirus and test in the same manner as routine diagnostic specimens.

Alere PanBio Dengue kits explained
There is confusion as to the correct use of the range of Alere PanBio kits. RCPAQAP Serology would appreciate you reading the information below to ensure that you enter your results in the correct section. RCPAQAP Serology is not endorsing the use of the Alere PanBio kit (or any other kit) but is using the Alere PanBio kits as an example as they are the most prevalent and hence, appear to be causing the most confusion.
Dengue IgG Indirect ELISA Kit Results for SERO-PREVALENCE
The Alere PanBio Dengue IgG Indirect ELISA is for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to dengue virus serotypes (1, 2, 3 and 4) in serum as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of patients with clinical symptoms and past exposure consistent with dengue fever. It may also be used to distinguish between primary and secondary dengue virus infection. This kit is for SERO‐PREVALENCE and as a check for sero‐conversion in a non‐endemic area. This kit cross‐reacts with other flaviviruses.
Dengue IgG Capture ELISA Kit Results for CURRENT INFECTION
The Alere PanBio Dengue IgG Capture ELISA is for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to dengue virus (serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4) in serum. This test is intended as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of secondary dengue virus infection, and can be used in conjunction with the Alere PanBio Dengue IgM Capture ELISA for the presumptive differentiation between primary and secondary infection. This kit is an acute marker for a CURRENT INFECTION for use in an endemic area where it is expected that the current infection is a secondary infection.
Dengue IgM Capture ELISA Kit Results for ACTIVE INFECTION
The Alere PanBio Dengue IgM Capture ELISA is for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to dengue antigen in serum, as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of patients with clinical symptoms (active infection) consistent with dengue fever. Detection of IgM antibodies to dengue virus by ELISA is a valuable procedure, particularly in second and subsequent infections where the occurrence of complications is high. Serum IgM antibodies can be detected from dengue patients as early as three to five days after the onset of fever and generally persist for 30 - 90 days, although detectable levels may be present eight months post-infection Dengue Duo ICT Kit Results for differentiation between PRIMARY and SECONDARY INFECTIONS
The Alere PanBio Dengue Duo Cassette is a rapid immunochromatography (ICT) test designed for the qualitative presumptive detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to dengue virus in human serum, plasma and whole blood. The assay can be used for the presumptive differentiation between primary and secondary infection.
Dengue Duo ICT Kit Results for differentiation between PRIMARY and SECONDARY INFECTIONS
The Alere PanBio Dengue Early Rapid is a dengue NS1 antigen immunochromatographic (ICT) test. It is for the qualitative detection of NS1 antigen in serum, used as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of patients with clinical symptoms consistent with dengue fever. The Alere PanBio Dengue Early Rapid should be used in conjunction with other dengue serology tests.
Dengue NS1 Antigen Test Results
The Dengue Early Rapid is a dengue NS1 antigen is for the qualitative detection of NS1 antigen in serum, used as an aid in the diagnosis of patients with clinical symptoms consistent with dengue fever.

Clinical Background
The flavivirus component of this survey comprised two (2) specimens, one from a 45 year old woman who has recently returned from India with headaches, arthralgia and a rash (Specimen 3A) and the other from a 24 year old male who has returned from Indonesia with headaches and diarrhoea (Specimen 3B).
Specimen 3A is a Flavivirus IgG and IgM positive serum diluted 1:2 and Specimen 3B is a serum which tested negative to Flavivirus IgG and IgM antibodies in pre‐issue testing.
Results and Discussion
Sixty‐six participants returned results for flavivirus serology in this module.
Specimen 3A was tested for Dengue IgG by 28 participant using commercial ELISA kits. Positive results were obtained by all participants using the Alere PanBio IgG Indirect ELISA and also by participants using the Vircell and NovaTec Immunodiagnostica Dengue IgG ELISA. All participants using Alere PanBio Dengue IgG capture and the Standard Diagnostics IgG capture ELISA reported the result as negative. Specimen 3B was tested by 25 with all but one obtaining negative results. One participant obtained an equivocal result using the Alere PanBio Indirect ELISA.
Thirty‐five participants returned results for Dengue IgM testing for Specimen 3A and all obtained a positive result. Specimen 3B was tested by 32 participants with all obtaining a negative result except for an aberrant equivocal result obtained by the Alere PanBio kit, and a positive result obtained using the NovaTec Immunodiagnostica ELISA.
Three participants tested the specimens for Dengue Total Antibodies, two by HAI and one by In‐house Dengue competitive ELISA. All obtained a positive result for Specimen 3A and a negative result for Specimen 3B.
Both specimens were reported as NS1 antigen negative by all participants testing for Dengue Virus NS1 Antigen by a variety of different NS1 assays.
Ten participants used Alere PanBio Dengue IgG and IgM Duo ICT. Specimen 3A was reported as IgG and IgM positive by four of these participants, with four reporting it as IgG negative, IgM positive, one as IgG equivocal and IgM positive and one as IgG and IgM equivocal. The differential was reported varyingly as primary, secondary or unknown. Specimen 3B was reported as IgG and IgM negative by nine participants, with one participant reporting the IgM as equivocal.

Similar results were obtained by participants using the Standard Diagnostics NS1 Antigen and Antibody combo ICT. Specimen 3A was reported as IgG and IgM positive by six participants, and IgM pos and IgG negative by two participants with a further participant reporting IgG as equivocal and IgM as positive. All participants obtained negative results for Specimen 3B.
Twenty participants used Standard Diagnostics SD Bioline Dengue Duo. For Specimen 3A, 12 participants reported an IgG negative, IgM positive result; four reported it as IgG and IgM positive, one as IgG and IgM negative and one as IgG equivocal IgM positive. Two reported IgM result only and reported it as positive. All participants reported negative results for Specimen 3B.
One participant used Unicheck Dengue IgG and IgM ICT, reporting Specimen 3A as IgG negative and IgM positive, and Specimen 3B and IgG and IgM negative.
One participant tested for Flavivirus IgG and IgM using an In‐house ELISA and obtained IgG and IgM positive result for Specimen 3A and IgG and IgM negative for Specimen 3B.
Two participants used In‐house Total Antibody tests, one a HAI and the other an ELISA test. Both reported Specimen 3A as positive and Specimen 3B as negative.
Three participants tested Specimen 3A for WNV/KUNV IgM. Two obtained a positive result for Specimen 3A and one reported it at equivocal (by In‐house Kunjin IFA). Specimen 3B was reported as negative by two participants.
Kunjin Total Antibody was performed by three participants, one by In‐house ELISA and two by HAI. The ELISA produced a negative result for Specimen 3A while both participants testing by HAI reported a positive result, one with a titre of 80 and the other 640. All three participants reported Specimen 3B as negative.
One participant performed an In‐house MVEV IFA and obtained a negative result for both specimens. An In‐house MVEV total ELISA was performed by one participant that reported both specimens as negative. The MVEV HAI produced a positive result for Specimen 3A and negative for Specimen 3B.
Yellow Fever IgG was tested by one participant by In‐house IFA and a negative result was obtained for both specimens. Three participants tested for Yellow fever IgM and all reported both specimens as negative. Yellow Fever Total Antibodies were tested by IFA and HAI and the Specimen 3A was reported as positive by both test methods while Specimen 3B was reported as positive by IFA and negative by HAI.
Interpretive Comments
Where positive flavivirus results are obtained a comment should be used to suggest possible recent or past infection with a flavivirus and follow up serology requested to confirm or exclude recent infection.
Interpretation of results should take into account the possibility of serological cross‐reactivity between closely related viruses.
Where negative flavivirus results are obtained comments should reflect that there is no evidence of recent or past infection but a follow up requested to rule out current infection.

Conclusion
Specimen 3A was positive for Flavivirus IgG and IgM antibodies and Flavivirus IgM Dengue 3 specific. It would be expected that Dengue IgG and IgM would be detectable except by IgG capture ELISAs designed to diagnose secondary infections. Many aberrant negative results were reported for this specimen and results obtained by the ICTs were of particular concern.

It may be expected that this specimen would be non‐reactive to other flaviviruses, however owing to the cross‐reactivity between flaviviruses, positive results for some tests in this survey would not be unexpected. These positive results also illustrate the importance of referring positive specimens to a reference laboratory for confirmation.
Specimen 3B was a negative specimen which was found to be non‐reactive by all participants with the exception of two aberrant equivocal results in a the Alere PanBio IgG indirect ELISA and the Alere PanBio Dengue IgM Duo test, and an aberrant positive Dengue IgG obtained using the NovaTec Immunodiagnostica Dengue IgM ELISA.
