Hepatitis C virus RNA quantitation in venous and capillary small-volume whole-blood samples.
Quantitation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in plasma and serum samples is a costly procedure in both time and reagents. Additionally, cell-associated viral RNA may not be detected. This study evaluated the accuracy of HCV RNA quantitation in small-volume whole-blood (WB) samples, which would be appropriate for point-of-care diagnostic devices. HCV RNA was extracted from 222 clinical plasma and...
متن کاملCapillary versus venous bedside blood glucose estimations.
OBJECTIVES To determine the mean difference and correlation between capillary and venous bedside glucose estimation in comparison to laboratory blood glucose analysis in emergency department (ED) patients. METHODS Blood glucose levels were synchronously analysed using a bedside blood glucometer on capillary and venous derived samples from consenting ED patients aged >12 years. The venous samp...
متن کاملPerformance of FACSPresto Point-of-Care Instrument for CD4-T Cell Enumeration in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-Infected Patients Attending Care and Treatment Clinics in Belgium and Tanzania
BACKGROUND CD4 T-cell counts are widely used to assess treatment eligibility and to follow-up HIV-infected patients. The World Health Organization prequalification of in vitro diagnostics program conducted a performance evaluation of the FACSPresto (BD Biosciences), a new point-of-care instrument to measure absolute CD4-T cell (CD4) counts and percentages in venous and capillary blood samples f...
متن کاملCapillary versus Venous Blood Glucose in Patients with Coma
1 Dear Sir, The recent publication on “comparison of capillary and venous blood glucose levels using glucometer and laboratory blood glucose level in poisoned patients being in coma” is very interesting.[1] Yaraghi et al. concluded that “capillary blood glucose measurement by using glucometer is not recommended for patients in coma.”[1] In fact, there are many previous comparative studies betwe...
