Gg. Sherman, Quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus infection in infancy, PEDIAT INF, 20(4), 2001, pp. 462-463
In countries where HIV infection is common and health care resources are li
mited, identification of HIV-infected infants is difficult because PCR test
ing is not affordable. Available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests (A
XSYM System; Abbott) set a cutoff point of 1; by changing this point to 10,
HIV-infected infants can be identified at a young age.
