HIV infection in Asian Indian patients with haemophilia & those who had multiple transfusions. Indian Journal of Medical Research. 1991 Jan; 93(): 12-4http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/26001A total of 124 Indian patients with haemophilia and 185 multiple transfused patients with thalassaemia, haemoglobinopathies, patients on chronic haemodialysis and others were screened for HIV-1 infection by a commercially available competitive ELISA test and supplementary Western Blot (WB) test. The results showed that HIV-1 infection was mostly confined to the haemophiliacs where 15 (12.1%) were confirmed to be positive for HIV infection. All except one had received both foreign and Indian cryoprecipitate. However, one haemophilic seroconverted within 4 months of receiving a cryoprecipitate manufactured in India.engAdolescentAdultBlood TransfusionChildHIV Antibodies --bloodHIV Infections --complicationsHIV SeropositivityHIV-1 --immunologyHemophilia A --complicationsHemophilia B --complicationsHumansMaleMiddle AgedJournal Article
