Indeterminate human immunodeficiency virus western blot results in Iranian patients with discordant screening assay results.
OBJECTIVE The Western blot (WB) assay is the most widely accepted confirmatory assay for the detection and confirmation of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and 2 (HIV-2). However, indeterminate WB reactivity to HIV-1 and HIV-2 proteins may occur in individuals who do not appear to be infected with HIV. METHODS In this study, we describe the results of indeterminate WB...

UNLABELLED Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Western Blot (WB) tests are used as an aid in the diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency disease syndrome (AIDS) and related disorders. The object of this study is to examine and compare the results of four commercially available HIV WB methods. Sera from 974 persons were tested by four (Kits I, II, III, and IV) HIV WB methods from different vendors...
متن کاملPredictive value of two commercial human immunodeficiency virus serological tests in cases with indeterminate Western blot results.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Serodiagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection typically requires repeatedly reactive positive screening test followed by Western blot (WB) assay. When WB assay result is indeterminate, the results of follow-up WB assay may remain inconclusive. This study evaluated use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and particle agglutination test (PAT) as seq...
متن کاملQuantification Analysis of Dot Blot Assays for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and 2 Antibodies
Objective Dot Blot (DB) assay provides highly specific results, but usually not reliable for quantification of antibody production. The need for a more objective DB assay to provide a better definition of the immune status, against HIV antigens, promoted this study to be done to develop a quantitative DB assay. Material and Methods Dot blot (DB) strips for antibodies directed to human immuno...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus Active Infection in Persons Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), one of the most common opportunistic pathogens in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can cause the diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and chorioretinitis. This study aimed at molecular studying of CMV infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Material and Methods: In this study, 50 ven...
