AB We evaluated the sensibility, especificity and eficiency of SERODIA-HIV
particle agglutinatination assay, from Fujirebio Inc., Tokyo, Japan. It
was tested 49 Seros samples, being 17 from a national panel, produced by
the Laboratory with a National reference for Retrovirus
(BIOMANGUINHOS/FIOCRUZ), 12 seros of anti-HIV-1 low titer panel (Boston
Biomedica Inc.) and 20 samples from the routine of the Public Health
Central Laboratory Noel Nutels/Rio de Janeiro. The samples were
considered truly positive or negative in according to the Western Blot
and the reaction interpretation criteria was that recommended by the
CDC. From the total of the appraised samples, one remained undetermined
and the sensibility, especificity and eficiency of the test determined,
respectively in 100%, 85.7% and 97.9%. There were few variations among
the lectures achieved by different technicians, without presenting
significative alterations. The results confirm that the tests Serodia
can be widely used like a selecting teste for detecting of antibodies
anti-HIV-1, because of the fact of being simple and consequently not
needing any equipment to be realized, they present excelent sensibility.
