With the Zika virus outbreak in South America starting in 2015 and its potential to cause malformation of the fetus in infected women, the need for diagnostic methods became obvious. Until now, only limited data are available on the diagnostic performance of commercial kits. Here, we present data comparing the RealStar Zika Virus RT-PCR Kit 1.0 for detection of Zika virus from 208 serum and urine samples collected in French Guiana with a reference method. Of these, 114 samples tested positive with the RealStar Kit and 111 with the reference method.
随着2015年南美洲寨卡病毒的爆发以及其对感染女性腹中胎儿造成畸形的可能性，诊断方法的需求变得显而易见。到目前为止，关于商业试剂盒诊断性能的可用数据有限。在此，我们展示了将用于从法属圭亚那采集的208份血清和尿液样本中检测寨卡病毒的RealStar寨卡病毒RT-PCR试剂盒1.0与参考方法进行比较的数据。其中，114份样本经RealStar试剂盒检测呈阳性，111份经参考方法检测呈阳性。
