Application Effect and Accuracy Analysis of Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay in the Serological Test of Hepatitis B Virus

Objective: To explore the validity and accuracy of electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the serological detection of the hepatitis B virus.

Methods: From 6 February 2019 to 1 March 2020, 96 patients diagnosed with hepatitis B virus infection in our hospital were recruited and assigned at a ratio of 1 : 1 to experimental groups A (GA) and B (GB), with 48 cases in each group, and the five major serological indicators of hepatitis B were tested and analyzed using ECLIA and ELISA. In addition, 50 suspected patients were selected for two tests, respectively, to compare the accuracy of the two test methods.

Results: ECLIA was associated with significantly higher expression levels and higher detection rates of HBeAg, HBeAb, HBsAg, and HBsAb versus ELISA ( < 0.05), and the difference in the expression and detection rates of HBcAb levels between the two groups did not come up to the statistical standard ( > 0.05). ECLIA yielded significantly higher sensitivity and specificity than ELISA ( < 0.05), while the two methods showed comparable detection accuracy ( > 0.05).

Conclusion: Despite the inconsistent results of the latest studies on the serological detection of hepatitis B by the two techniques, ECLIA is consistently superior to ELISA and provides better diagnostic benefits and merits promotion.
