Results dependent Health status of patient
• Vaccination history: Cross-reactivity in serological tests due to flavivirus vaccines • Yellow fever virus (South Americas, Africa) • Japanese encephalitis virus (Asia) • Tick-brone encephalitis virus (Central and Eastern Europe) • Dengue virus (Central and South Americas)
• YOPI’s => low or no immune response (extended viremia or IgM response)
• Previous infections => antigenic sin
• Cross-reactivity & sensitivity differ dependent on viral antigen used (or whole virus used) => in-house validation essential for interpretation!
18 1 8 maart 2016 8 Antigenic sin
Memory B-cells developed against epitopes of primary pathogen
Secondary infection with closely related pathogen (Influenza, Dengue, HIV, Cowpox)
Memory B-cells activated to primary pathogen
Reducing production of b-cells to secondary pathogen

Sensitivity / Specificity provided by manufacturer
● Analytical sens/sepc dependent on: - cross-reactivity - lab variation - robustness test - a-specific reactions (Malaria in snap-tests)
● Diagnostic sens/sepc dependent on: - Sampling day post onset disease => viral kinetics
- Comparison method used (how solid is the Gold Standard?)
- Background of validation samples used (predictive value): Endemic / sporadic / disease free area Healthy / disease population Vaccination status / previous exposure Important terms in interpretation of (all!) diagnostic tests

Patients living in dengue endemic areas
Patients with multiple serocomplex exposures Conclusions
Increase and change in arbovirus activity in and beyond Europe
Clinical symptoms of arboviruses overlap and are not restricted to a viral family
Geographical distribution of arboviruses with comparable syndromes overlap
Within genus (specifically flaviviruses) a large amount of serological cross-reactivity occurs
Also, flavivirus vaccines (TBEV, YFV & JEV) cause false positive serological tests
Therefore have a clear substantiated diagnostic algorithm if vector-borne are considered! – Multiplex! – General clinical syndrome – Travel- and exposure history – Vaccination history – Potential cross-reactivity – Days post onset symptoms! (sensitivity PCR vs serology differs significantly per group) Questions for further research discussion
