Hastanemizin yedi yıllık (2004-2010) Anti-HIV ve doğrulama testi sonuçları

Abstract

In this study, 7-year anti-HIV test results of our medical microbiology laboratories were evaluated retrospectively. Between 2004 and 2010, a total of 268.901 blood samples from blood bank, outpatient and inpatient clinics of Ankara Ataturk Training and Research Hospital were tested for HIV antibodies by one of the following macro-ELISA systems [Vitros ECi (Ortochemical Diagnostik, USA), Axsym (Abbott, USA) and Architect (Abbott, USA)] in different periods. The blood samples repeatedly negative by one of these systems were reported as non-reactive, while the positive ones were studied again by VIDAS kits (BioMeriéux, France). A total of 38 samples (% 0.014) were found reactive by VIDAS kits and send to Ankara Refik Saydam National Public Health Agency for Western-blot confirmation test. Of them 14 (36.8%) were reported as positive and 2 (5.2%) as “indeterminant”. After one month, one of the anti-HIV ELISA test repeats was found negative and the other was found positive for the indeterminant patients. In summary, only 15 (0.006%) samples were confirmed as having HIV antibodies and our results are consistent with the previous reports from our country.
