Antibody detection tests. An alternative approach to diagnosing infections is to look for a specific host response to infection, rather than detect the pathogen itself. The most common means of doing this is to measure antibodies in patient serum. The detection of (for example) SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2] antibodies does not indicate that a patient has ongoing infection, but rather that they have been exposed to the virus at some point in the past. 3, record 2, English, - antibody%20detection%20test

The less sensitive EIA [Enzyme Immunoassay] is one where the “detuned” assay is made less sensitive by using a higher serum dilution (1/20,000 compared to 1/400), a shorter specimen incubation period, and a higher cut-off point to be considered positive. If a specimen is tested using both assays (the standard and the detuned assay) and has a positive result in both; the person from whom the specimen was collected is presumed to have been infected for at least a year. However, if the specimen has a positive result using the standard EIA but then is nonreactive using the detuned assay, the patient is presumed to have been infected with the HIV virus for less than six months. 2, record 6, English, - detuned%20assay

Cette nouvelle technique appelée «algorithme de test sérologique de la séroconversion récente au VIH» conjugue le dépistage usuel du VIH à partir de la détection d’anticorps contre le virus et un «test désensibilisé». Si, contrairement au test désensibilisé, le test de dépistage habituel décèle la présence d’anticorps, les chercheurs en concluent que l'individu vient de contracter le VIH parce que les réponses des anticorps ne sont pas très puissantes. 2, record 6, French, - test%20d%C3%A9sensibilis%C3%A9

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Treponema-specific tests ... are used primarily to confirm the diagnosis of syphilis in patients with a reactive non-treponemal test. ... Unlike non-treponemal tests, which show a decline in titers or become nonreactive with effective treatment, most treponema-specific tests usually remain reactive for life. Because of the persistence of reactivity, possibly for the life of the patient, treponemal tests are of no value to the clinician in determining relapse, reinfection, or treatment efficacy. Therefore, a reactive treponemal test result only indicates exposure to T. [Treponema] pallidum at some time during a person's life. It does not indicate that the person currently has an active syphilis infection. For this reason, a positive treponemal test result should be confirmed with a non-treponemal test. 3, record 7, English, - treponemal%20test
