1 Dec 1992
Abstract excerpt
Blood sampling on filter paper has many advantages for the detection of perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, if the method is to be widely used, an assessment of its performance under field conditions is required.
