I definitely have HSV-1 (since childhood. My HSV-2 IgG test came back at a level of only 2.2, which is quite low and in the gray area (although the official level for a positive result is only 1.1) 2. Western blot positivity was more common in men without herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) antibody than in those with HSV-1 antibody (93 vs 76, P 0.02) and in men with a history or clinical evidence of genital lesions (88 vs 80, P 0.30). The Euroline WB has a consistently high sensitivity, but specificity varied significantly among the different locations. The result of my online lay research was that I seem to be a prime candidate for a false positive for HSV-2, based on the following factors: 1. Ninety-one (84) of 108 HSV-2 ELISA-positive sera tested HSV-2 Western blot-positive. HSV-2 Western blots were performed on sera from male sexually transmitted disease clinic. gold standard University of Washington HSV western blot (UW-WB), were tested using Kalon by two technologists in an United States reference laboratory. This packet includes patient instructions, frequently asked questions, University of. Among the 437 Ugandans in Rakai, 67.3% were HSV-2-positive by Euroline WB (sensitivity 98.7%, specificity 65.4%). Rhoda Ashley Morrow at University of Washington Seattle. Welcome to your Herpes Western Blot Serology testing information packet. Available from the University of Washington, the. Among the 273 commercial sex workers in Kunming, 62.3% were HSV-2-positive by Euroline WB (sensitivity 96.9%, specificity 89.1%). specific serologic tests (Immunoglobulin G, or IgG, antibody tests). Among the 135 American men attending a STI clinic in Baltimore, MD, 72% (n = 97) were HSV-2-positive by Euroline WB, showing a sensitivity of 97.8% and a specificity of 81.8%. of Washington, proving that the initial Labcorp result was a false positive. This study evaluated Euroline WB for the detection of HSV-2 antibodies compared with University of Washington Western blot in three geographically different regions: Baltimore, MD, USA Rakai, Uganda and Kunming, China. The short version is that I had a low-positive 2.5 Elisa HSV-2 Igg test from Labcorp, and like many other people I later got a negative Western blot HSV-2 test from the U. The Euroline Western blot (WB) is a commercially available assay that is easy to perform however, little is known about its performance characteristics. While glycoprotein G-2 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays are commonly used for the serological detection of HSV-2 antibodies, they have low specificity in developing countries. Detection of herpes simplex virus type 2-specific immunoglobulin G antibodies in African sera by using recombinant gG2, Western blotting, and gG2 inhibition. Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide.
