Abstract EN
Dengue has become a global public health problem and a sensitive diagnostic test for early phase detection can be life saving.
An internally controlled, generic real-time PCR was developed and validated by testing serial dilutions of a DENV positive control RNA in the presence of a fixed amount of IC with results showing a good linearity (R2=0.9967) and a LOD of at least 1.95×104 copies/mL.
Application of the generic PCR on 136 patient samples revealed a sensitivity of 95.8% and specificity of 100%.
A newly developed multiplex real-time PCR with serotype-specific probes allowed the serotyping of DENV for 80 out of 92 (87%) generic real-time PCR positive patients.
Combined these real-time PCRs offer a convenient diagnostic tool for the sensitive and specific quantification of DENV in clinical specimens with the possibility for serotyping.
