Evaluation of blood collected on filter paper for detection of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1

P Fortes et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1989 Jun.

Abstract

This study was undertaken to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a commercial enzyme immunoassay in detecting antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 using whole-blood specimens collected onto filter paper. Results obtained with specimens collected onto filter paper were comparable with those obtained with the corresponding serum or plasma specimens.
