Comparison of two automated immunoassays for the determination of Puumalavirus IgM and IgG Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Puumala virus (PUUV), a member of the genus hantavirus, can cause nephropathia epidemica, a mild form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. The method of choice for the serodiagnosis of hantavirus infections are enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs).
OBJECTIVES: Two commercially available PUUV ELISA kits were compared: Hantavirus (Puumala) IgM/IgG ELISA (Progen, Heidelberg, Germany) and PUUMALA IgM and IgG EIA ...

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 ...
