Diagnosis of Perinatal Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection by Polymerase Chain Reaction and p24 Antigen Detection after Immune Complex Dissociation in an Urban Community Hospital

Results of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and p24 antigen detection after immune complex dissociation (p24-ICD) were compared with antibody results after 18 months of age for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnosis in 345 prospectively followed, perinatally exposed infants. Of 59 infected and...
