A new study from Euroimmun, published in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, demonstrates how customised testing for different dengue serological markers can improve diagnostic accuracy across different stages of infection. Diagnostic challenges Accurate diagnosis of dengue virus (DENV) infection is challenging due to its non-specific early symptoms and potential for rapid clinical deterioration. While RT-PCR is […]
A study on Oropouche virus (OROV) has shed light on recent and historical outbreaks of this neglected virus in Latin America and the Caribbean. The study was performed in collaboration with Euroimmun and Euroimmun Brazil and was published in Nature Medicine. Background to Oropouche virus OROV is an arbovirus that causes the febrile illness Oropouche
A new collaborative study by Euroimmun and researchers in Türkiye reports that both ELISA and immunoblot show excellent agreement with the reference standard — indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) — for serological staging of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections. A widespread infection EBV is a ubiquitous herpesvirus that infects more than 95% of the global population, usually
The EUROIMMUN Anti-Acetylcholine Receptor ELISA shows a high overall concordance with traditional radioimmunoassay (RIA) in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), while offering advantages such as avoidance of radioisotope waste. This was the conclusion of a study on patients in Japan, which was performed as part of a collaboration between EUROIMMUN and scientists at the Neurology
A multiparameter EUROLINE blot for detection of myositis-related autoantibodies showed a high agreement with muscle biopsy results in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), suggesting it can be used as a first-line diagnostic tool in the diagnostic workflow. The recently published study was performed as part of a collaboration between scientists from EUROIMMUN Brazil and
