An IgM antibody capture enzyme linked immunosorbent assay using avidin biotin complex system (ABC MAC-ELISA) was established for the detection and differentiation of dengue-1 and Japanese encephalitis virus infections. The cut-off value of MAC-ELISA was based on the mean value of optical density at 490 nm of seven negative human sera carried along in each assay multiplied by 2.1. The specificity of MAC-ELISA tested on 200 healthy enrolled male serum was 99.5% and 98.0% for dengue-1 and Japanese encephalitis IgM, respectively. Two hundred and sixty-six acute or followed-up dengue serum specimens which were identified to possess dengue-1 virus by virus isolation technique using C6/36 cell line and monoclonal antibody immunofluorescent assay (IFA) were tested by MAC-ELISA for IgM antibodies to dengue-1 and Japanese encephalitis virus infection. The positivity of IgM antibody for serum collected from day 1 to day 7 after onset of the disease was 0.0%, 0.0%, 7.6% 14.2%, 25.0%, and 77.7% by each consecutive day, correspondingly, for those collected from day 8 to two month was 96.7% overall. By comparison the P/N value of dengue-1 IgM to JE IgM, 98.5% and 96.8% of the dengue-1 and Japanese encephalitis suspected serum specimens could be distinguished from each other, respectively. MAC-ELISA is a convenient, rapid, sensitive and specific method for the detection and differentiation of dengue-1 from Japanese encephalitis virus infections.

D003715 Dengue An acute febrile disease transmitted by the bite of AEDES mosquitoes infected with DENGUE VIRUS. It is self-limiting and characterized by fever, myalgia, headache, and rash. SEVERE DENGUE is a more virulent form of dengue.

D003937 Diagnosis, Differential Determination of which one of two or more diseases or conditions a patient is suffering from by systematically comparing and contrasting results of diagnostic measures. Diagnoses, Differential,Differential Diagnoses,Differential Diagnosis
D004664 Encephalitis Virus, Japanese A species of FLAVIVIRUS, one of the Japanese encephalitis virus group (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUSES, JAPANESE), which is the etiological agent of Japanese encephalitis found in Asia, southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Japanese B Encephalitis Virus,Japanese Encephalitis Virus,Virus, Japanese Encephalitis
D004672 Encephalitis, Japanese A mosquito-borne encephalitis caused by the Japanese B encephalitis virus (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS, JAPANESE) occurring throughout Eastern Asia and Australia. The majority of infections occur in children and are subclinical or have features limited to transient fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. Inflammation of the brain, spinal cord, and meninges may occur and lead to transient or permanent neurologic deficits (including a POLIOMYELITIS-like presentation); SEIZURES; COMA; and death.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
