## Abstract A highly sensitive twoβstep polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was evaluated for detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIVβ1) DNA in clinical specimens. The product resulting from the first amplification reaction is used as the template for the second PCR with an interna

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect hepatitis D (HD) viremia in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Nineteen (9%) of 206 such patients, unselected for liver disease or HBV infection, were found prospectively to be infected by HDV. Thirty-one anti-HIV-pos
## Abstract The diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in children born to HIVβinfected mothers is complicated by the presence of passively acquired maternal antibodies, and exclusion of infection in these infants remains problematic. The use of genome detection by polymerase cha
An application of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to the direct detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viremia is described. The amplification of specific HIV-1 sequences of gag and env viral genes was carried out after the reverse-transcription of plasma samples (plasma RT-PCR
