Low Specificities of HIV Diagnostic Tests Caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense Sleeping Sickness

24 Jun 2010

Abstract excerpt

The accuracy of diagnostic tests for HIV in patients with tropical infections is poorly documented. Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is characterized by a polyclonal B-cell activation, constituting a risk for false-positive reactions to diagnostic tests, including HIV tests. A retrospective study of the accuracy of HIV diagnostic tests was performed with 360 human African HAT patients infected with Trypanosoma...
