- •InBios kit was most sensitive; Novatec and Euroimmun kits were most specific.
- •Concordance across the labs was high for both the NovaTec and Euroimmun IgM + IgG kits.
- •The NS1-based NovaTec and Euroimmun kits may be useful in confirmation of infection for a portion of patients and to reduce the number of PRNT’s required.
