Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - DPP Fever Panel II assay

Melioidosis cases - serum samples collected from patients with B. pseudomallei positive cultures

Non-melioidosis cases - serum samples collected from patients with B. pseudomallei negative cultures


Treatment: Devices: DPP Fever Panel II assay
Multiplex lateral flow immunoassay (DPP® Fever Panel II Assay) that is able to detect (i) antigens produced by Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya, Malaria and Burkholderia and (ii) IgM directed against Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya, Leptospira, Rickettsia typhi and Orientia tsutsugamushi. The assay comes with a reader that provides results interpretation to the operator in a few seconds

Summary
Brief summary
Burkholderia pseudomallei is responsible for melioidosis, a disease that can present a range
of signs and symptoms and can be treated by a specific drug regimen. Diagnosis of melioidosis
is made by isolation of the bacteria from body fluids or tissues such as blood, skin or
sputum. Although this is considered the gold standard, bacterial isolation has low diagnostic
sensitivity, requires specific infrastructures (biosafety level 3 laboratories) and skilled
staff that are not always available in LMICs. This may lead to inappropriate patient
management and care.

Chembio, in partnership with FIND, has developed a multiplex lateral flow immunoassay (DPP®
Fever Panel II Assay) that is able to detect antigens from common causes of febrile
illnesses, included Burkholderia. FIND will conduct a laboratory study in Menzies Health
School of Research to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of the DPP II Assay using
retrospective samples that are positive for B. pseudomallei. Results will help in estimating
the diagnostic accuracy of the assay for this pathogen.
