Neutralization microtest with human coxsackievirus and echovirus serotypes.

L Danes, I Jaresová

    Journal of Hygiene, Epidemiology, Microbiology, and Immunology
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study evaluated enterovirus serotypes using a neutralization microtest. Young children showed the lowest antibody response, while paired sera revealed significant antibody rises in many patients, indicating the test

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Immunology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Enteroviruses are a significant cause of human illness.
    • Accurate serotyping is crucial for diagnosing enteroviral infections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the utility of a neutralization microtest for enterovirus diagnosis.
    • To investigate antibody responses to various enterovirus serotypes in different age groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Employing a neutralization microtest technique.
    • Examining 600 single sera from healthy individuals and 458 paired sera from patients.
    • Performing 34,862 monotype neutralization tests against prototype strains CA9, CB1-CB5, E1-E9, E11-E14, E17, E19, E24, and E26.

    Main Results:

    • The youngest children (up to 2 years) exhibited the lowest proportion of reactive sera and the highest proportion of sera lacking type-specific antibodies.
    • These youngest children's sera most frequently reacted with enterovirus serotypes CA9 and CB4.
    • Significant antibody titer rises to at least one enterovirus serotype were observed in 105 paired sera, with additional cases showing rises to multiple serotypes.

    Conclusions:

    • The neutralization microtest is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying enteroviral infection causes.
    • The method demonstrates effectiveness despite an estimated 10% failure rate in identifying the exact causative serotype.
    • Serologic examination of single serum samples may not accurately reflect population-wide seroconversion rates.
