Journal Abstracts on Blood & Organ Donations
If the researchers are using the hugely inaccurate ELISA as their initial screening tool, and then the CDC criteria on Western blot in case of positive ELISAs, just how trustworthy are the studies reporting no infection through donated blood and organs? As a reminder, IgM reflects a new infection or reactivation of a previous infection, while IgG reflects an ongoing infection. The IgM will turn negative before the IgG will in those cases where the immune system has been able to successfully fight the infection, or drugs taken to quash the infection have been effective.
