An assay device for the rapid detection of Leptospira-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in human sera is presented. The sensitivity (85.8%) and specificity (93.6%) of the assay compared well (91.9% agreement) with those of an IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay routinely used in the serodiagnosis of leptospirosis. The sensitivity of the assay varied with the stage of the disease. The assay uses stabilized components and is simply performed by the addition of serum and sample fluid to the sample well of the assay device. The assay is read after 10 min, and a positive result is obtained when staining of the test line is observed.
本文介绍了一种用于快速检测人血清中钩端螺旋体特异性免疫球蛋白M(IgM)抗体的检测装置。该检测方法的灵敏度(85.8%)和特异性(93.6%)与通常用于钩端螺旋体病血清诊断的IgM酶联免疫吸附测定法相当(一致性为91.9%)。该检测方法的灵敏度随疾病阶段而变化。该检测使用稳定的成分,只需将血清和样本液加入检测装置的样本孔中即可简单操作。10分钟后读取检测结果,当观察到检测线染色时即为阳性结果。
