Abstract

A dipstick DNA chromatography assay, a single-tag hybridization-printed array strip (STH-PAS), was evaluated for its efficacy to detect dengue virus (DENV). Reverse-transcribed DNA was amplified by PCR, and the amplified DNA was detected using the STH-PAS system. The method was evaluated using stored RNA samples previously identified to carry all 4 serotypes of dengue, chikungunya, and influenza viruses. Clinical performance was also assessed in a prospective study using plasma from 269 febrile cases from the Emergency Department of St. Luke’s Medical Center, Quezon City, Philippines, and 30 afebrile normal healthy volunteers. A Taqman real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assay and a rapid Dengue NS1 test, SD Bioline, were used for comparison. The STH-PAS system was more sensitive in detecting dengue infection compared to Taqman RT-PCR. For DENV serotypes 1, 2, and 3, the detection was 1 to 2 dilutions (10-fold) higher, and for DENV serotype 4, the detection was 2–4 dilutions higher. In clinical studies, the STH-PAS system showed 100% sensitivity with 88.9% and 86.6% specificities compared to Taqman RT-PCR and SD Dengue Duo NS1 test, respectively. The STH-PAS system was found to have a superior sensitivity than the Taqman system. Further evaluation of its performance in the field may provide important data to extend its usefulness for surveillance and epidemiological research in outbreak situations.
