Popis: | Background Implementation of affordable methods for HCV viremia is a key priority for identifying individuals who need treatment among persons screened positive for HCV antibodies. Different HCV PCR assays for use on open polyvalent PCR platforms are currently commercially available but studies evaluating the performances of these nucleic acid tests are needed. Objectives In the present study, we evaluated the analytical and clinical performances of a recently developed HCV RNA PCR assay for detection and quantification of HCV viremia. Study design In this study the Biocentric Generic HCV PCR was compared to the Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HCV RNA assay. Analytical and clinical performances was evaluated on reference materials and HCV plasma samples collected in 141 patients attending at the Montpellier University Hospital in France. Field evaluation was performed on samples collected in 185 patients attending at Medical Laboratory, Institut Pasteur in Cambodia. Results The lower limit of detection ranged from 50 HCV RNA IU/ml to 300 HCV RNA IU/ml using four different Diasorin and Qiagen automated or manual extraction methods. The specificity (CI) and sensitivity of the assay were 100% (92.5–100), and 98.7% (92.3–99.9), respectively, in France, and 100% (95.5–100), and 100% (94.4–100%), respectively, in Cambodia. Bland–Altman analysis shown good agreement between the two assays including for genotypes 6 HCV, which represent the majority of HCV isolates in Cambodia. Conclusions The Biocentric Generic HCV assay has shown overall satisfactory analytical performances and a close agreement to the Cobas HCV assay on clinical specimens collected in France and Cambodia. There is an urgent need to further evaluate commercial assays dedicated to HCV detection and quantification using open polyvalent PCR platforms in different settings. |
