The performance of a human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and selective subsequent use of an HHV-8 immunofluorescence assay (IFA) was tested in persons unlikely to be infected with HHV-8 and those who had HHV-8 detected in their saliva. The IFA was performed on samples within a range of EIA optical densities (0.15 to 0.35) where there was considerable overlap between HHV-8-infected and uninfected individuals. The sensitivity of the testing strategy was 88%, with a specificity of 97%.
在不太可能感染人类疱疹病毒8型(HHV-8)的人群以及唾液中检测到HHV-8的人群中,对HHV-8酶免疫测定(EIA)的性能以及随后选择性使用HHV-8免疫荧光测定(IFA)进行了测试。IFA是对EIA光密度范围在0.15至0.35之间的样本进行检测的,在此范围内,HHV-8感染个体和未感染个体之间存在相当大的重叠。该检测策略的灵敏度为88%,特异性为97%。
