Abstract

The incidence of dengue is increasing in many countries and at the present time, around half of the world's population is at risk of infection. Dengue is an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) that continues to pose an important challenge to public health authorities worldwide. A critical task in managing arboviral outbreaks and epidemics is the selection of laboratory technology for timely and accurate diagnosis. In this study, we assessed the performance of the DYNEX® DS2 Automated Processing System for the diagnosis of dengue vis a vis the manually executed procedure. The levels of agreement were calculated and showed 94%, 96%, and 90% positive percent agreement, negative percent agreement, and overall percent agreement, respectively. In conclusion, both tests displayed comparable performances.
