Abstract
|
|
|
We compared the performance of three screening kits for the detection of anti-HIV in 187 samples; Enzygnost(r) Anti-HIV1/2 Plus, ABBOTT TESTPACK(r) HIV-1/HIV-2 & SERODIA(r)·IV-1/2. Four samples, 3 serums and 1 CSF, from 2 patients were
repeatedly
reactive in all three screening kits and 2 Serum specimens were confirmed positive (HIV-1_ by the western blot assay. The sensitivity and specificity of all three screening kits were 100% and 98.9%. respectively In Korea, the cause of AIDS is
mostly
HIV-1 and the prevalence is very low. So, all three screening kit for the detection of anti-HIV-1, anti-HIV-2 and anti-HIV-1 subtype O will be needed for the decrement of false negative rate because HIV infection has been increased, especially,
HIV-2
infection and pediatric AIDS patient by vertical transmission were also reported. Currently.
