Evaluation of blood samples collected by dried blood spots (DBS) method for hepatitis B virus DNA quantitation and its stability under real life conditions
We evaluated the diagnostic performance of dried blood spots (DBS) compared to plasma for detection and quantification of HBV-DNA under real-life conditions. Blood specimens from 100 known cases of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) requested for quantitative HBV-DNA were included. In a subset of 20 patients...
