Comparison of two automated commercial assays for routine detection of anti-hepatitis E Virus IgM antibodies in clinical samples

Diagnosis of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection relies first on detection of IgM antibodies (Ab), sometimes completed with HEV RNA detection. This study aimed to compare the performance of two automated anti-HEV IgM Ab assays. Correlation between Virclia® (Vircell) and Liaison® (Diasorin) assays was carried out on 178 routine clinical samples. Both assays were run on 67 samples from HEV RT-PCR (Altona) screened patients, and 52 Wantai® EIA (Euroimmun) tested samples. An excellent correlation was observed between both assays with an overall agreement of 96.6% (172/178), and a kappa coefficient at 0.93. In HEV RNA positive group (n=43), IgM detection rate was 93.3% (14/15) in immunocompetent patients, with both assays. In immunocompromised patients, detection rate was 75% (21/28) and 71.4% (20/28) using Virclia® and Liaison XL® assays, respectively. Virclia® and Liaison® anti-HEV IgM assays have similar performance for the detection of anti-HEV IgM Ab.
