- Abstract
Anti-dengue virus immunoglobulin M kits were evaluated. Test sensitivities were 21%-99% and specifi cities were 77%-98% compared with reference ELISAs. False-positive results were found for patients with malaria or past dengue infections. Three ELISAs showing strong agreement with reference ELISAs will be included in the World Health Organization Bulk Procurement Scheme.
