Are VIDAS® anti-HEV IgM and IgG assays fit for reliable diagnosis of hepatitis E virus infections? Comparison & case story telling Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Objectives: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 is an emerging pathogen in developed countries. We evaluated the performance of two new serological assays for the detection of HEV, VIDAS® anti-HEV IgM and IgG. Methods: VIDAS® assays were performed on 77 clinical samples: 68 samples from patients suspected for HEV infection and 9 samples which previously tested positive for HEV IgM, IgG or HEV PCR. All samples were also tested using Wantai HEV ...
Comparison of two automated immunoassays for the determination of Puumalavirus IgM and IgG Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
