摘要: We compared paired plasma and dried blood spot (DBS) samples from 54 HIV-1-treated children living in Bangui, Central African Republic, for antiretroviral-resistance-associated mutations. All displayed virological failure (HIV-1 RNA >3.70 log10copies/ml). Testing resistance genotype was carried out a reference laboratory Paris, France. A successful test result obtained (100%) plasmas 25 DBSs (46%). Among the 732 resistance-associated mutations analyzed, 718 were identical, leading to high concordance rate of 98.1%. Genotypic tests on DBS found be highly feasible accurate foreign laboratory, but with additional costs shipping decreased sensitivity.
