Detection of early anti-p24 HIV responses in EIA- and immunoblot-negative individuals. Implications for confirmatory testing.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The Joint Commission lists improving staff communication (handoffs) as part of several National Safety Goals. In this study, we developed an electronic web-based charting system for clinical pathology handoffs, which primarily consist of transfusion medicine calls, and evaluated the advantages over a paper-b...
