QUANTITATIVE DETECTION OF HIV-1 RNA - CLINICAL USEFULNESS IN DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Abstract
The use of PCR for virus detection and quantification offers the advantages of high sensitivity and reproducibility combined with an extremely broad dynamic range. HIV-1 RNA levels in plasma of a patient is a significant marker for the successful monitoring of immunocompromised patients, present study includes the quantification of HIV-1 RNA levels in patients infected with HIV. The study signifies about the co-relation of HIV-1 RNA levels with respect to patient’s viremia.
