متن کاملHIV-1 genetic diversity in Argentina and early diagnosis of perinatal infection.
HIV-1 diagnosis of perinatally exposed children is usually performed by molecular biology-based methods, allowing the direct detection of the virus. Thus, HIV-1 genomic variability within and across strains plays a major role in relation to the sensitivity of these tests, often leading to misdiagnosis. We describe the performance of an in-house multiplex nested PCR (nPCR) for early detection of...
متن کاملThe Diagnosis of HIV Infection in Infants and Children
It is estimated that the number of HIV infected children globally has increased from 1.6 million in 2001 to 3.3 million in 2012. The number of children below 15 years of age living with HIV has increased worldwide. Published data from recent studies confirmed dramatic survival benefit for infants started anti-retroviral therapy (ART) as early as possible after diagnosis of HI. Early confirmatio...
متن کامل[Serological diagnosis of HIV-1 infection].
In the Western blot, HIV-1 or HIV-2 proteins are denatured, separated by electrophoresis in function of their molecular weight and transferred on a nitrocellulose strip. The presence of antibodies against one or several of these proteins is revealed by an immuno-enzymatic reaction producing a colored reaction. The result is interpreted with well-defined criteria. Incomplete profiles can be obse...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Primary HIV-1 Infection
Results: Primary infection was diagnosed in 54 patients (12.4%). The sensitivity and specificity of the p24 antigen assay were 88.7% (95% CI, 77.0% to 95.7%) and 100% (CI, 99.3% to 100%), respectively. For the HIV RNA assay, sensitivity was 100% and specificity was 97.4% (CI, 94.9% to 98.9%). Fever, myalgia, rash, night sweats, and arthralgia occurred more frequently in patients with primary in...
