Evaluation of Chikungunya diagnostic assays: differences in sensitivity of serology assays in two independent outbreaks.

Evaluation of Chikungunya diagnostic assays: differences in sensitivity of serology assays in two independent outbreaks.

BACKGROUND: The sensitivity and specificity of two in-house MAC-ELISA assays were tested and compared with the performance of commercially-available CTK lateral flow rapid test and EUROIMMUN IFA assays for the detection of anti-Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) IgM.
