Added value of IgA antibodies against Zika virus non-structural protein 1 in the diagnosis of acute Zika virus infections.
In conclusion, at time points after PCR can detect the virus, the determination of anti-ZIKV NS1 IgA may improve the accuracy in diagnosing acute ZIKV infection in flavivirus-endemic regions in the context of both primary and secondary infection, especially when IgM is undetectable.
