Comparison of Technics for Determination of Epstein-Barr Virus Serological Diagnosis
An observational study of EBV, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
This study compared the performance of three automated immunoassays, Architect (Abbott), Immulite (Siemens) and Liaison (Diasorin), for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) serology. Ninety-one serum samples collected in Amiens University Hospital were analyzed for the presence of Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgG and IgM and… Read more about this study

Study population: 91 samples collected between 2014 and 2015 for which EBV diagnosis was requested. The serological diagnosis of EBV infection was performed in the Amiens University Hospital virology laboratory (France). The median age of patients was 34 years (mean: 38 years, range: 3-82 year) with a sex ratio of 50%. Sixteen of the 91 samples concerned children (<15 years)

About this study
Official title: Comparison of Abbott Architect®, Siemens Immulite®, and Diasorin Liaison® for Determination of Epstein-Barr Virus Serological Diagnosis
This study compared the performance of three automated immunoassays, Architect (Abbott), Immulite (Siemens) and Liaison (Diasorin), for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) serology. Ninety-one serum samples collected in Amiens University Hospital were analyzed for the presence of Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgG and IgM and Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen (EBNA) IgG. The agreement between the three assays was calculated for each marker individually and for determination of the EBV profile, based on interpretation of the combination of these three EBV markers.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Serological giagnosisOther
The serological diagnosis of EBV infection was performed in the Amiens University Hospital virology laboratory (France). 91 routinely collected samples were analyzed by Immulite, Architect, and Liaison Blood samples were centrifuged for 15 min at 2500g at room temperature. Sera were aliquoted and first analyzed by Immulite. All samples were tested for EBV VCA IgG, EBV VCA IgM and EBV EBNA IgG in order to determine infection status (primary EBV infection, past infection, absence of infection and indeterminate status).
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Capacity of the three assays to detect VCA IgM
The aim of the present study is to evlaute the capacity of the three tests to detect VCA IgM. 91 samples was collected and tested for EBV VCA IgG, EBV VCA IgM and EBV EBNA IgG in order to determine infection status (primary EBV infection, past infection, absence of infection and indeterminate status).
Measured: 2years
