Japanese Encephalitis Virus Antibody, IgG by ELISA
1.9 IV or less Negative - No significant level of detectable Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) IgG antibody.
2.0 - 5.0 IV Equivocal - Questionable presence of JEV IgG antibody. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
5.1 IV or greater Positive - JEV IgG antibody detected, which may indicate a current or past infection.

Interpretive Data

Patients in the early stage of JEV infection may not have a detectable level of IgG antibody; IgG response may take several days to several weeks to develop. In the absence of detectable IgG antibody, testing for IgM-class antibody is strongly recommended. A positive result (5.1 IV or greater) indicates the presence of IgG antibody to a Flavivirus in the Japanese encephalitis serogroup or the dengue virus serogroup. Cross-species plaque reduction neutralization tests on paired acute and convalescent sera are an acceptable means of determining the Flavivirus causing the antibody production.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.
