The SD Bioline® IgG4 rapid diagnostic test (RDT) detects IgG4 antibodies induced by the Onchocerca volvulus-specific antigen Ov16. We evaluated the stability of the RDT results over 1 month, at different time points after completion of each assay, using eluted dried blood spots collected in central Cameroon. Agreement coefficients regarding positivity between 30 minutes and 24 hours, 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks were, 96.4%, 93.4%, 93.3%, 93.2%, and 93.2%, respectively. Between 30 minutes and 24 hours, 3.6% of the 15,444 tests showed inconsistent results with 81.2% of these tests changing from negative to positive, increasing O. volvulus antibody prevalence from 23.9% to 26.2% (P < 0.0001). This change from negative to positive outcome was confirmed at the subsequent timepoints. Depending on the desired accuracy of prevalence estimates, reading time may have to be redefined more strictly.
