Diagnosis of human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) has been based on qualitative PCRs detecting HBoV1 DNA or detection of HBoV1 mRNA.
This study aims to assess whether a rapid and automated HBoV1 antigen test is suitable for diagnosis of acute HBoV1 infection.
HBoV1 antigen detection has been compared with quantitative HBoV1 DNA PCR and HBoV1 mRNA RT-PCR.
We conclude that HBoV1 antigen detection has higher clinical specificity and positive predictive value than HBoV1 DNA qualitative PCRs, yet a lower sensitivity than HBoV1 mRNA detection. Additionally, HBoV1 antigen detection is beneficial in its rapidity and availability as a point-of-care test.
人类博卡病毒 1 型(HBoV1)的诊断一直基于定性 PCR 检测 HBoV1 DNA 或检测 HBoV1 mRNA。
本研究旨在评估快速自动化 HBoV1 抗原检测是否适用于急性 HBoV1 感染的诊断。
将 HBoV1 抗原检测与定量 HBoV1 DNA PCR 和 HBoV1 mRNA RT-PCR 进行比较。
我们得出结论,HBoV1 抗原检测的临床特异性和阳性预测值高于 HBoV1 DNA 定性 PCR,但敏感性低于 HBoV1 mRNA 检测。此外,HBoV1 抗原检测具有快速、即时检测的优势。
