RESUMO
We have found that NS1 serotype-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can be used to differentiate primary and secondary dengue virus infections. This is due to the fact that the NS1-specific IgG antibody cannot be detected before day 9 of illness for primary infection, so the NS1-specific IgG antibodies measured in acute-phase sera must come from previous infection. Comparison of NS1 serotype-specific IgG ELISA with envelope- and membrane-specific capture IgM and IgG ELISA in the differentiation of primary and secondary dengue virus infections showed good correlation (95.90% agreement). Most important, we have found that the serotype of the dengue virus from the majority of patients with primary infection could be correctly identified when convalescent-phase or postinfection sera were analyzed by NS1 serotype-specific IgG ELISA. These findings suggested that NS1 serotype-specific IgG ELISA could be reliably applied for serodiagnosis and seroepidemiological study of dengue virus infection.
