Popis: Objectives Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is the main pathogen of severe hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are widely used in Chinese hospitals for the rapid diagnosis of acute EV-A71 infections. We present an evaluation of the diagnostic performance of a commercial anti-EV-A71 IgM-capture ELISA kit. Methods A prospective, hospital-based HFMD cohort was established in Henan Children's Hospital (February 2017 - February 2018). Stool and blood specimens were collected from 1413 participants for diagnosing EVA71 by quantitative Real-Time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and anti-EV-A71 ELISA. Results Detection yields of EV-A71 IgM increased from 6.5 % (95 % CI:3.3 %–11.4 %) at 0∼24 h, to 42 % (95 % CI:28.3 %–57.8) at 120∼144 h from onset to sampling, and stabilized at ∼40 % after 144 h. With increased time from onset to sampling, the sensitivity of the commercial ELISA increased from 0.54 (95 % CI:0.25−0.81) to 0.74 (95 % CI:0.43−0.66), while specificity decreased from 0.97 (95 % CI:0.93−0.99) to 0.80 (95 % CI:0.69−0.89), and PPV decreased from 0.96 (95 % CI:0.92−0.99) to 0.84 (95 % CI:0.73−0.92). Multivariate analysis found age, EV-A71 vaccination, previous HFMD/Herpangina infection, disease severity, infection during peak EV-A71 season, and sampling time after symptom onset were significantly associated with the diagnostic performance of this anti-EV-A71 IgM-capture ELISA. Conclusion Achieving satisfactory specificity and sensitivity scores, this commercial anti-EV-A71 IgM-capture ELISA kit is suitable for clinical EV-A71 diagnosis, particularly in resource-poor areas. However, clinicians should interpret results in the context of patient history and epidemiological setting.
