Typhoid Fever Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of DPP® Typhoid Assay (Chembio Diagnostic System, Inc) for the Diagnosis of Typhoid From Well Characterized Serum Sample.
Fever management is a major problem in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) where access to good quality diagnostic test is often unavailable. Fever due to typhoid is similar to other undifferentiated febrile illnesses and typhoid can be mistaken with other vector borne febrile illnesses such as scrub typhus. Currently available diagnostic tests, blood and bone marrow culture, and RDTs have several limitations including a low sensitivity and specificity . Recently, several antigens of Salmonella Typhi useful for serodiagnosis of typhoid has been identified. Salmonella Typhi lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and hemolysin E (HlyE) have been identified as top candidate antigens by several studies to differentiate acute typhoid patients from healthy individuals. DPP® Typhoid Assay is a multiplex rapid test that detects IgA antibodies to LPS and HlyE antigen. It is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity and its results were found to be highly correlated with ELISA results. However, very few studies have been conducted to evaluate this test and limited information about the accuracy of this test is present. Hence, this study will evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of this test in archived serum sample of well characterized blood culture positives and negatives in support of new innovation on typhoid diagnostics.
Typhoid is an acute febrile illness caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi). Annually, an estimated 11-21 million people become infected with typhoid fever and 128000-161000 people die from the disease . It is commonly transmitted through consumption of contaminated food or water. Low and middle-income countries and areas with poor access to safe water, food and sanitation are at higher risk of infection. Blood and bone marrow culture is considered as the mainstay for laboratory confirmation of typhoid. However, it is expensive, requires specific laboratory equipment and technical expertise and takes longer time to generate results. Several RDTs and Widal test are available which do not require specialized laboratory and well-trained staff but lack sensitivity and specificity. Several studies have been done for identification of promising antigens that can be used to develop an accurate serodiagnostic assay. S. Typhi lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and hemolysin E (HlyE) have been identified as top candidate antigens by several studies to differentiate acute typhoid patients from healthy individuals. HlyE is a pore-forming toxin that affects bacterial growth within human macrophages and contributes to the cytotoxicity and invasion of epithelial cells. Dual Path Platform (DPP) Typhoid Assay of Chembio is a point-of-care (POC) immunochromatographic technology which has the capability of measuring IgA response in blood, plasma and serum to both LPS and HlyE. A previous study done on this POC showed promising sensitivity and specificity to diagnose typhoid.Thus, the current study aims to assess the sensitivity and specificity of DPP ® Typhoid Assay using blood culture as the reference point. ;
