Sensibilidad y especificidad del método inmunocromatográfico utilizado para el diagnóstico de rotavirus

Abstract

El rotavirus (RV) es el principal agente viral causante de diarrea aguda en niños menores de 5 años y es responsable de aproximadamente el 6% de las muertes en este grupo etáreo, lo que conlleva la necesidad de utilizar métodos de diagnósticos rápidos y confiables. El objetivo del estudio es evaluar la sensibilidad y especificidad del método inmunocromatográfico (ICG), en el que se basan muchos kits comerciales utilizados para el diagnóstico de rotavirus grupo A, tomando como referencia el método de electroforesis en gel de poliacrilamida (PAGE). Se seleccionaron muestras de heces de 317 pacientes con diarrea aguda que concurrieron a un laboratorio privado de mayo a noviembre del 2006, con pedido de análisis de rotavirus y todos los datos de los pacientes fueron manejados de manera confidencial Se utilizaron kits de las marcas comerciales Operón simple (n=154) o SD Bioline rotavirus (n=163), siguiendo estrictamente las instrucciones del fabricante. Las muestras fueron conservadas en frío y remitidas al IICS para la realización de los estudios moleculares. La sensibilidad obtenida por el método ICG fue de 97,8% y la especificidad de 84%. La concordancia absoluta fue del 90%. Las muestras que dieron resultados discrepantes entre ICG y PAGE, fueron confirmadas por nRT-PCR, resultados que coincidieron con los obtenidos por PAGE. La sensibilidad del método ICG es muy buena, si bien la especificidad es moderada el método puede ser utilizado como screening para el diagnóstico rápido de rotavirus y sería aconsejable utilizar métodos más específicos como los moleculares para estudios epidemiológicos. The rotavirus (RV) is the major causative agent of acute viral diarrhea in children under 5 years old and is responsible for approximately 6% of the deaths in this age group making necessary the use of quick and reliable diagnosis methods. The aim of this study is to evaluate the sensibility and specificity of the immunochromatographic method (ICG) on which many commercial kits used for the diagnosis of A rotavirus group are based taking as a reference the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Feces samples were collected from 317 patients with acute that attended a private laboratory from May to November, 2006 for rotavirus analysis. All the information of the patients was managed confidentially. Kits of the commercial brands simple Operón (n=154) or SD Bioline rotavirus (n=163) were used strictly following the instructions of the manufacturers. Samples were maintained in cold and sent to the IICS for the performance of the molecular studies. The sensibility obtained by the method ICG was 97.8%, the specificity was 84% and the absolute concordance was 90 %. The samples that gave discrepant results between ICG and PAGE were confirmed by nRT-PCR that provided results similar to those obtained by PAGE. The sensibility of the ICG method is very good and though the specificity is moderated it can be used as screening for the quick diagnosis of rotavirus and it would be advisable to use more specific methods, as the molecular ones, for epidemiological studies.
