Abstrakt: Background: Viral enteric infections are illnesses caused by several types of viruses that primarily affect the gastrointestinal system. Globally, three major viruses associated with gastroenteritis, including norovirus (NoV), rotavirus A (RVA), and human adenovirus (HAdV), have been widely recognized. Accordingly, a rapid and sensitive diagnostic tool, such as immunochromatographic (IC) test, for diarrheal virus detection is required and helpful for rapid diagnosis.
Methods: The IP-Triple I IC test kit for simultaneous triple virus detections of NoV, RVA, and HAdV was evaluated for its efficacy by using stool specimens that were known positive for these viruses by real-time RT-PCR or PCR, which was used as the gold standard method.
Results: The results revealed that the IP-Triple I IC test kit exhibited a very high level of specificity (100%) for NoV, RVA, and HAdV detections, while the sensitivity was slightly different for these three viruses. The sensitivity of detection for RVA was 86.7%, whereas those for NoV and HAdV were 70.6% and 76.2%, respectively. This IP-Triple I IC kit could detect common antigens of a wide range of NoV, RVA, and HAdV genotypes (NoV GII.2, GII.4, GII.6, GII.7, GII.10, GII.17, RVA G1P[8], G2P[4], G3P[8], G8P[8], G9P[8], HAdV-C1, -C2, -C5, -A12, -F40, and -F41).
Conclusions: Our results revealed that the IP-Triple I IC test kit is highly effective for simultaneous, direct detection of common antigens of several genotypes of NoV, RVA, and HAdV in stool specimens and useful for screening and rapid diagnosis of diarrheal viruses during the seasonal outbreak.
