Three commercially available diagnostic assays for the detection of antibodies to varicella-zoster virus were evaluated to determine which would be the most suitable for our clinical laboratory. Three different methods were examined: an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), latex agglutination (LA), and an indirect fluorescent-antibody technique. For the 141 serum specimens tested, the ELISA had an agreement of 90.1% and LA had an agreement of 92.2% with the indirect immunofluorescent-antibody technique. The ELISA had a lower sensitivity (85.6%) than LA (100.0%), but suffered from a low specificity (78.4%) compared with the ELISA (98.0%).
对三种市售的用于检测水痘-带状疱疹病毒抗体的诊断检测方法进行了评估,以确定哪一种最适合我们的临床实验室。研究了三种不同的方法:酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)、乳胶凝集试验(LA)和间接荧光抗体技术。对于所检测的141份血清标本,ELISA与间接免疫荧光抗体技术的一致性为90.1%,LA为92.2%。ELISA的敏感性(85.6%)低于LA(100.0%),但与LA(98.0%)相比,其特异性较低(78.4%)。
