ABSTRACT
Peripheral blood samples were separated into aliquots of whole blood and plasma and tested using an automated PCR system. More positive results were obtained from plasma (43), compared to whole blood (34). Plasma results did not correlate well with those in whole blood and tended to produce higher viral loads.
