ABSTRACT
We evaluated two new commercial dengue diagnostic tests, the MRL Diagnostics Dengue Fever Virus IgM Capture ELISA and the PanBio Rapid Immunochromatographic Test, on serum samples collected during a dengue epidemic in Jamaica. The MRL ELISA method correctly identified 96 percent (78 of 80) of the samples as dengue positive, while the PanBio test identified 100 percent (80 of 80). Both tests were 100 percent (20 samples of 20) specific.(Au)
