Abstract:
The large underestimations of HIV RNA quantification observed in 17 patients with the first version of Cobas TaqMan assay have been successfully corrected in the upgraded version 2.0. In comparison with the Abbott RealTime assay, the mean difference that was 1.18 log(10) copies/ml is now zero. The discrepancies have disappeared.
