Abstract

Background: Viral gastroenteritis is a significant global health concern. An effective, rapid, and easy-to-use diagnostic tool is essential for screening causative viruses.

Methods: Forty-eight samples, known to be infected with one of the following viruses: norovirus, group A rotavirus, astrovirus, adenovirus, and sapovirus determined by reverse transcription-PCR and nucleotide sequencing, were evaluated by the Fast Track Diagnostics (FTD) viral gastroenteritis assay.

Results: The assay demonstrated 100% specificity for all viruses and matched the RT-PCR sensitivity for norovi-rus GI, classic human astrovirus, adenovirus, and sapovirus. It identified norovirus GII and rotavirus with 87.5% and 85.7% sensitivity, respectively. However, its sensitivity for detecting novel human astrovirus MLB and VA was lower, at 35%.

Conclusions: The FTD viral gastroenteritis assay can effectively screen simultaneously for norovirus GI, GII, group A rotavirus, adenovirus, and sapovirus in clinical settings. The study also suggests that improved detection methods are necessary for novel astrovirus strains.

评估快速诊断试剂盒检测病毒性肠胃炎病原体的效果。

背景：病毒性肠胃炎是全球关注的重大健康问题。一种有效、快速、易用的诊断工具对于筛查致病病毒至关重要：方法：快速诊断（FTD）病毒性肠胃炎检测法对 48 份样本进行了评估，这些样本通过反转录-PCR 和核苷酸测序确定感染了以下病毒之一：诺如病毒、A 组轮状病毒、星状病毒、腺病毒和沙波病毒：结果：该检测方法对所有病毒的特异性均为 100%，对诺如病毒 GI、典型人类星状病毒、腺病毒和沙波病毒的 RT-PCR 敏感性也与之相当。它识别诺如病毒 GII 和轮状病毒的灵敏度分别为 87.5% 和 85.7%。然而，其检测新型人类星状病毒 MLB 和 VA 的灵敏度较低，仅为 35%：结论：FTD 病毒性胃肠炎检测法可在临床环境中同时有效筛查诺如病毒 GI、GII、A 组轮状病毒、腺病毒和沙波病毒。该研究还表明，有必要改进新型星状病毒株的检测方法。
