A new recombinant Plasmodium antigen enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the detection of malarial antibodies was evaluated for the screening of 'malaria-risk' blood and tissue donations.
A total of 13,269 donor and patient samples were tested by both the EIA and the standard diagnostic antibody immunofluorescence test (IFAT).
A total of 114/138 (82.6%) samples from patients with P. falciparum and 11/13 (84.6%) samples from patients with P. vivax tested positive. A total of 714/13,053 (5.47%) samples from donors identified as 'malaria risk', owing to residency or travel, were reactive in the EIA.
The assay is more sensitive than a previously implemented malarial antibody EIA (73% in acute P. falciparum and 56% in acute P. vivax infections). The sensitivity of this new EIA is comparable to that of the IFAT, and the specificity is sufficient to screen 'malaria-risk' donors.
评估一种用于检测疟疾抗体的新型重组疟原虫抗原酶免疫测定法(EIA),以筛查“疟疾风险”血液和组织捐赠。
采用EIA和标准诊断性抗体免疫荧光试验(IFAT)对总共13269份供体和患者样本进行检测。
恶性疟患者的114/138份样本(82.6%)和间日疟患者的11/13份样本(84.6%)检测呈阳性。因居住或旅行被确定为“疟疾风险”的供体的13053份样本中,共有714份(5.47%)在EIA中呈反应性。
该测定法比之前实施的疟疾抗体EIA更敏感(急性恶性疟感染中为73%,急性间日疟感染中为56%)。这种新型EIA的敏感性与IFAT相当,特异性足以筛查“疟疾风险”供体。
