Background : Molecular methods have enabled rapid diagnosis of aseptic meningitis and have reduced both unnecessary therapeutic interventions and medical costs. In this study, we evaluated the analytical performance of the recently developed Real-Q Enterovirus Quantification kit (BioSewoom Inc., Korea). Methods : We evaluated the detection limit, precision, linearity, and cross-reactivity of the Real-Q Enterovirus Quantification kit and compared it with the conventional PCR method. From March to September 2009, we tested 91 CSF specimens from patients who visited the pediatrics department of the university hospital with symptoms of aseptic meningitis or infantile sepsis, and we also tested 48 CSF specimens from patients with febrile convulsion for differential diagnosis. Results : The Real-Q Enterovirus Quantification kit showed good linearity (r=0.997) within a range from 3×102 to 3×1010 copies/mL, and the detection limit of the kit was 83 copies/mL. The withinrun, between-run, and between-day CVs were 5.3-7.6%, 9.5-12.3%, and 11.4-13.4%, respectively. There was no cross reactivity between enteroviruses and various microorganisms. Positive results were obtained for 39.1% (25/64) of the patients suspected of aseptic meningitis and 44.4% (12/27)of the patients suspected of infantile sepsis. However, among the 48 children with febrile conversion, only 4 were positive for enterovirus. Further, the concordance with conventional PCR was high (73/74). Conclusions : The Real-Q Enterovirus Quantification kit showed excellent linearity and high reliability with a broad reportable range. It showed good detection rate when used with clinical specimens and also showed a high concordance with the conventional method. Therefore, this assay would be clinically useful not only in diagnosis of aseptic meningitis but also in differential diagnosis of infantile sepsis. (Korean J Lab Med 2010;30:624-30)
