Evaluation of the Abbott PRISM HIV Ag/Ab Combo Assay
Specimens from a single blood donor population as well as a single diagnostic population were tested on the Abbott PRISM HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay. All samples initially reactive were retested in duplicate. Repeatedly reactive specimens were tested in the NRL HIV-1/2 confirmatory algorithm to determine their true status. Specimens that were confirmed as HIV-positive were excluded from calculation o...
متن کاملEvaluation of clinical course and laboratory findings in HIV/HTLV-1 co-infection compare with HIV mono infection
Background: In the last 10 years, co-infection of human immunodeficiency virus/human T-cell leukemia virus-1 (HIV/HTLV-1) has emerged as a worldwide health problem. These viruses has the same route to infect human but different effects on CD4 positive T-cells. There was controversial results about the influence of co-infection HIV/HTLV-1 pathogenesis. This study compared clinical course and lab...
متن کاملDetection of acute HIV infection: a field evaluation of the determine® HIV-1/2 Ag/Ab combo test.
BACKGROUND Most human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) point-of-care tests detect antibodies (Ab) but not p24 antigen (Ag) or RNA. In the absence of antibodies, p24 antigen and RNA typically indicate acute HIV infection. We conducted a field evaluation of the Determine® HIV-1/2 Ag/Ab Combo rapid test (Combo RT). METHODS The antigen portion of the Combo RT (for acute HIV infection) was compared wi...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of rapid tests, HIV specific peptide EIA and Western Blot test for diagnosis of HIV-2 and HIV 1&2 infection
Background In 1986, a second type of HIV, called HIV-2, was isolated from AIDS patients in West Africa, where it may have been present decades earlier. HIV-2 infections are predominantly found in Africa. West African nations report a prevalence of HIV-2 infection of more than 1% in the general population. The prevalence rate of HIV-2 infection in India is not available so far as HIV-2 infection...
