AbstractWe compared the measurement of anti-dsDNA by a commercial ELISA test (DIASTAT), an in-house ELISA and the Crithidia luciliae assay in cross-sectional sera samples of 209 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and 64 patients with a variety of rheumatological, autoimmune and non-autoimmune diseases in Hong Kong. The Crithidia assay was found to be the least sensitive (17%) but most specific (95%) method for detection of a positive result in SLE patients. The DIASTAT assay has a higher sensitivity (68%) but lower specificity (80%) than the in-house ELISA test (32% sensitivity and 89% specificity). The positive predictive value of the three assays are comparable at 90-92% while DIASTAT had the highest negative predictive value (44%). There was good linear correlation (r = 0.7) between the two ELISAs. ELISA can serve as a useful screening test for anti-dsDNA in SLE patients and doubtful cases can then be confirmed by another method such as radioimmunoassay.
