The Benefits of Paper Filter vs. the Serum Method

1. Samples of dried blood on filter paper are easy to collect, carry and store.

2. Results equivalent to those obtained using the alternative method of test on serum.

3. Excellent solution for areas without structure, or with precarious laboratory structure.

4. Studies conducted by Brazilian institutions showed that, unlike the collection method on needles, dried blood samples on paper filter remain keep their properties preserved at extreme temperature conditions as 51°C, even when combined with high humidity.

Summary

HIV infection in the population is a growing

problem, especially in developing countries

hit by the AIDS epidemic.

The most frequent way of a child to

acquire HIV infection is through his/her

mother during pregnancy, at birth or

through breastfeeding.

The Importance of Prevention

In the 21st century, the HIV epidemic continues out

of control in many countries of the world. The Joint

United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)

estimates that 40 million people would be living with

HIV/AIDS, five million are infected every year, of

which three million would be children; of these, 500

thousand children would die as a result of the

infection and 700 thousand would have acquired

new infections only that year, many of them taken to

death before reaching adolescence.

The Importance of Prevention

Whatever the disease, it is always better to identify it in the pre-

symptomatic phase or in its early stages. This is the reason why the

programs aimed at the prevention and early diagnosis of various

diseases are the main objectives of current health initiatives. The main

purpose of these educational and prevention initiatives is to provide all

the resources necessary to disclose the information required for the

reduction of infection and mortality rates.

For example, the treatment of syphilis, a disease that can cause

blindness or death in neonates, can be accomplished with a single dose

of Benzathine Penicillin in primary cases, or up to 3 doses (one per

week), in cases of secondary or latent syphilis.

The Importance of Prevention

These initiatives can be applied to:

• General Screening Programs: For men and women in screening

diseases, such as AIDS, Syphilis and Hepatitis B and C.

The Importance of Prevention

The importance of diagnostic tests for the detection of infectious diseases,

has been widely disclosed around the world.

Programs with this scope of coverage, given their magnitude, only would be

possible to be implemented with the use of paper filter for the collection of

samples.
