Zusammenfassung: | The appearance and persistence of IgM antibodies were studied by MAC-ELISA in 926 confirmed cases of dengue virus type 1 infection. Assays performed on acute and convalescent patient sera revealed that IgM antibodies appeared during the early phase of disease (day 2) and persisted for three months after onset. MAC-ELISA proved to be a valuable early diagnosis test when compared with haemagglutination inhibition.
L'apparition et la persistance des anticorps IgM ont été étudiées par MAC-ELISA dans 926 cas confirmés d'infection par le virus de la dengue type 1. L'examen des sérums de cas aigus et de convalescents a montré que les IgM apparaissent au début de la maladie et se maintiennent durant 3 mois. Le test MAC-ELISA, comparé à l'inhibition de l'hémagglutination, s'est avéré de grande valeur pour le diagnostic précoce. |
