Abstract:
In this study, 110 sera samples taken from healthy persons were tested for BK virus antibodies by using hemagglutination inhibition (HI), ELISA and complement fixation (CF) tests to detect the sensitivity, specificity and agreement of these tests. The results of each individual test was compared with others for sensitivity and specificity. Specificity found to be 96% when HI and CF tests were compared. Sensitivity also found to be 92.7% when CF and ELISA tests were compared. Agreement of HI and ELISA tests were 88%.
