Volume : III, Issue : VIII, September - 2013 Comparison Of Diagnostic Performance Of Different Kits For Detection Of Acute Dengue Infection During An Outbreak In Lakhimpur District Of Assam Jitendra Sharma, Mridul Malakar, Monika Soni, Prafulla Dutta And S A Khan Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Background: Now a day's dengue becomes an epidemic in almost all over the India covering 80% districts in Assam. The study was carried out at lakhimpur district of Assam which is a place considered to be the 'Gateway to Arunachal Pradesh and important for transport and communication.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out the diagnostic performance of different commercially available kits for early detection of dengue infection during an outbreak.
Methods: Dengue NS1 an IgM card test was done to detect acute dengue infection in all the collected samples (SD Bioline Dengue duo Dengue NS1 + Ab Combo). IgM Mac Elisa Test was used as a gold standard method.
Result: Out of 340 nos of clinically suspected dengue patients, SD BIOLINE Dengue Duo kit showed 89 cases were found Dengue IgM positive and 142 nos were Dengue NS1 positive. Whereas only 47 nos of samples were found to be positive in Dengue IgM Elisa test and 13 nos was Dengue NS1Ag Elisa positive. All the NS1Ag Elisa positive samples were found Dengue IgM Elisa positive. Adult males are more affected with dengue. More nos of dengue cases were reported from urban area as compared to rural. All community has equally affected with dengue infection. Economically backward people are more pretentious to dengue infection. The sensitivity and specificity of SD BIOLINE Dengue Duo kit was 95.92% and 22.50% respectively.
Conclusion: It is accomplished that in further study, for early detection of acute dengue infection not only SD BIOLINE Dengue Duo kit but also Elisa technique should also be require for strong evidence.
