--> The differential diagnosis of these two infections is essential for clinical
managent and epidemiological study in the tropics.
Excellent performance
Internal Evaluation
Sensitivity : 97.1% (vs. ELISA)
Specificity : 98.9% (vs. ELISA)
Clinical study
According to the research performed in southern Thailand(Chikungunya outbreak, 2008), SD BIOLINE
Chikungunya IgM shows equivalent performance when compared to RT-PCR for collected CHIKV
positive samples after onset of fever. RT-PCR for CHIKV was positive in every serum obtained from
patients within the first three days after the onset of fever whereas the IgM antibody may become
detectable after 3 days of the onset of fever. In this research, author emphasizes that serological or
molecular methods are required to arrive at a definite diagnosis of either infection. RT-PCR and serology to
detect IgM antibodies or paired sera for IgG against CHIKV ought to be performed in all patients with
presumed hemorrhagic fever to detect outbreaks of CHIKV early. This precaution would help control global
epidemics of this virus.
