CHIKV-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM were tested in acute- and convalescent-phase sera by an indirect fluorescent antibody test with a hyperimmune mouse ascitic fluid prepared against CHIKV Ross strain in conjunction with a fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (Fluoline G, bioMerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) as previously described (22). Abdominal computed tomography initially excluded the presence of expansive processes, and no abnormal cells were found in the ascitic fluid. Malignant ascites is a serious, late stage complication of ovarian and other intra-abdominal cancers and is unresponsive to current therapy, being normally relieved by repeated drainage of ascitic fluid. |
