Abstract
- El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el rendimiento diagnóstico de la prueba de inmunofluorescencia indirecta (IFI) para la detección de anticuerpos contra HTLV-1. Se realizó un estudio de evaluación de prueba diagnóstica. Se usaron cultivos celulares MT2 infectados con HTLV-1 y K-562 sin infección, luego fueron sembrados, fijados en láminas para inmunofluorescencia y enfrentados a sueros. Se usaron 155 sueros (80 positivos para HTLV-1 y 75 positivos para otras enfermedades) procedentes de la seroteca del Instituto Nacional de Salud del Perú. Adicionalmente, se evaluó la repetibilidad (en el laboratorio) y reproducibilidad (en laboratorios de costa, sierra y selva) de la prueba. La prueba IFI para la detección de anticuerpos contra HTLV-1 tuvo una sensibilidad de 98,75% (IC 95%: 95,69-100%), una especificidad de 98,67% (IC 95%: 95,40-100%) y el índice de kappa de 0,975. No hubo falsos positivos ni falsos negativos; sin embargo, sí se obtuvo un resultado indeterminado y uno inespecífico. La prueba mostró 100% de concordancia en la repetibilidad y reproductibilidad. Concluimos que los resultados obtenidos son comparables a la prueba de referencia. La prueba de IFI presenta un buen rendimiento diagnóstico y sería de utilidad para la confirmación de HTLV-1. The objective of the study was to determine the diagnostic yield of the indirect immunofluorescence (IFI) test for the detection of antibodies against HTLV-1. A diagnostic test evaluation study was performed. HTLV-1-infected MT2 cells and HTLV-1-uninfected K-562 cells were cultured; then these cells were impregnated and fixed in sheets for immunofluorescence and faced to Peruvian sera. A total of 155 sera (80 HTLV-1-positive sera and 75 sera positive for other diseases) from the Peruvian Instituto Nacional de Salud were used. In addition, the parameters of repeatability (intra-laboratory) and reproducibility (in laboratories of the Peruvian coast, mountains and jungle) of the test were evaluated. The IFI test detected the presence of antibodies against HTLV-1 reaching a sensitivity of 98.75% (95% CI: 95.69 - 100.00%), a specificity of 98.67% (95% CI: 95.40 - 100.00%) and the Kappa index was 0.975. There were no false positives or false negatives; however, one undetermined result and one non-specific result were obtained. The test showed 100% qualitative agreement when performing the repeatability and reproducibility. The results obtained are comparable to the reference test. Therefore, the IFI test had a good diagnostic performance and would be useful for the confirmation of HTLV-1.
