LOINC description : Qualitative result for Dengue virus 1 neutralizing antibodies in clinical specimens.
Serological cross-reactivity is strong between Dengue and other flaviviruses, especially
Zika virus. Therefore, positive EIA or IF assays are presumptive only and should be
confirmed by a neutralization assay, such as the plaque-reduction neutralization test
(PRNT), which can discriminate between Dengue virus and cross-reacting antibodies
in primary flavivirus infections.;
