AB OBJECTIVES: To assess an HIV-IgA Immunoblot to be used in early
diagnosis of pediatric AIDS. METHODS: Forty five frozen serum samples
from children born to seropositive mothers were analized in comparison
to co-culture as a standard. Children clinical status was:P0 (n = 19);
P1 (n = 2) and P2 (n = 24). Immunoblot was performed using an In house
method after IgG precipitation. RESULTS: Patients were divided in two
groups. A: 3-6 months and B: older than 6 months of age. TABULAR DATA,
SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSIONS: The test showed a good correlation
with co-culture in the population over 6 months of age. This assay is a
good alternative to be used in diagnosis of HIV infection in pediatrics
in developing countries.
