Immunoglobulin A antibody responses in dengue patients: a useful marker for serodiagnosis of dengue virus infection.

Abstract

We determined the usefulness of an immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for serodiagnosis of dengue virus infections. The results indicate that the presence of IgA and IgM in serum samples assures recent primary dengue virus infection even with a single serum sample.
