چکیده مقاله:

Background and Aims: HIV is spreading rapidly among people word wide. Infection with this virus leads to immune suppression and finally acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).Early HIV detection is depended on antibody screening against virus by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).Some confirmatory tests such as Western Blot and Recombinant Immunobloting Assay (RIBA), are used to verify viral infection. Many of confirmatory tests results are indeterminate. The aim of this study is comparing the frequency and patterns of indeterminate results in two groups blood donors and patients with high risk behaviors, in northeast of Iran. Materials and Methods: From October 2009 to March 2014 total number of 1055 serum samples with previous positive HIV ELISA test history, were tested in our laboratory. Some by RIBA and some by western blot method. Results: Most of indeterminate results belonged to blood donors that were tested by Western Blot analysis and were positive. The most reacting band was P24 in both methods and groups. Conclusion: RIBA assay is more sensitive and reliable than western Blot but it’s necessary to use other supplementary tests with less indistinctive results.

HIV-(1/2) indeterminate western blot results: follow-up of asymptomatic blood donors in belo horizonte, minas gerais, brazil

The clinical and public health importance of indeterminate results in HIV-(1/2) testing is still difficult to evaluate in volunteer blood donors. At Fundacao Hemominas, HIV-(1/2) ELISA is used as the screening test and, if reactive, is followed by Western blot (WB). We have evaluated 84 blood donors who had repeatedly reactive ELISA tests for HIV-(1/2), but indeterminate WB results. Sixteen of ...

HIV‑2 antibody detection after indeterminate or negative HIV‑1 Western blot in Cuba, 2005-2008.

INTRODUCTION Differentiating between HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection is the first step to understanding HIV transmission, epidemiology and pathogenesis in geographical areas where both viruses circulate. In Cuba, positive results in mixed HIV-1/2 screening assays are confirmed by HIV-1 Western blot. Indeterminate results constitute the main limitation of this test and HIV-2 infection is among their p...

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...
