Evaluation of a human immunodeficiency virus test algorithm utilizing a recombinant protein enzyme immunoassay.
Many truly human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody-negative serum samples may be unnecessarily subjected to costly and time-consuming Western blots (immunoblots). An investigation was undertaken to evaluate the efficiency of using a recombinant protein-based enzyme immunosorbent assay (EIA; Cambridge BioScience [CBC] Recombigen HIV EIA) as an adjunct to whole viral lysate EIA. A total of 2,...
متن کاملOral Manifestations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patients
Background: Oral lesions are among the earliest clinical manifestations of human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection and are important in early diagnosis and for monitoring the progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of oral lesions and their relationship with a number of factors in HIV/AIDS patients attending an HIV cente...
متن کاملRapid culture confirmation of herpes simplex virus by a monoclonal antibody-based enzyme immunoassay.
Rapid confirmation of herpes simplex virus (HSV) is essential in many clinical settings. Viral isolation in cell culture is the standard method for diagnosing HSV infection, with confirmation by specific immunological staining. The performance of the Rapid Absorbent Matrix Pad (RAMP) HSV culture confirmation test was evaluated with specimens obtained from 71 patients with suspected HSV infectio...
متن کاملEvaluation of a rapid immunochromatographic test for detection of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus.
A new immunochromatographic rapid test, Determine HIV-1/2, for the detection of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV-2 in human whole blood, serum, and plasma was evaluated. Determine HIV-1/2 is a sandwich immunoassay and uses a nitrocellulose strip with a capture site for the patient's results and a procedural control site to confirm the validity of the assay. The ...
متن کاملFalse-Positive Human Immunodeficiency Virus Enzyme Immunoassay Results in Pregnant Women
OBJECTIVE Examine whether false-positive HIV enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test results occur more frequently among pregnant women than among women who are not pregnant and men (others). DESIGN To obtain a large number of pregnant women and others tested for HIV, we identified specimens tested at a national laboratory using Genetic Systems HIV-1/HIV-2 Plus O EIA from July 2007 to June 2008. METH...
