Irreproducible positive results on the Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HIV‐1 Qual test are different qualitatively from confirmed positive results

17 Oct 2013

Abstract excerpt

Criteria that define low positive results on the COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan (CAP/CTM) HIV-1 Qual test as inconclusive have been adopted by all academic centres in South Africa that conduct infant HIV PCR, following previous investigations that showed poor specificity of these results. Retesting all inconclusive specimens has considerable cost implications. Therefore, it was attempted to characterise such...
