ABSTRACT

318 samples from supposedly healthy blood donors at the blood bank were studied. As a result, 315 negative samples, two borderline samples, and a positive one were obtained. A DAVIH-BLOT test confirmed the positive, negative and borderline sample obtained by UMELISA. A 99.68% specificity was obtained with this test. With the same aim in mind, 233 positive samples in SH, FP S & S 903 to 45% and 55% hematocrit were studied. They maintained the same levels of positivity with both methods, and 100% sensitibity to both values of hematocrit.
