Resumo

We assessed a dengue IgG rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine their suitability for dengue prevaccination screening. Each exhibited ≥99% specificity. The RDT demonstrated no Zika cross-reactivity, while the ELISA displayed greater sensitivity. Both could safely guide vaccination in Puerto Rico pending availability of improved serotests.
