      blood donors and risk groups].
PG  - 24-7
AB  - It was studied the presence of HTLV-I antibodies in 3,774 sera, 1,409 of them 
      were from blood donors, 1,444 were from patients who had suffered from some 
      sexually transmitted disease recently, and 921 from transfused patients. The 
      DAVIH HTLV I (ELISA) and DAVIH BLOT HTLV I (Western Blot) systems produced at the 
      DAVIH Laboratories (Havana, Cuba) were used for screening and confirmation, 
      respectively. Of the 68 reactive sera utilized in the ELISA test, it was 
      confirmed the presence of HTLV I/II antibodies in 2, whereas 12 were considered 
      as undetermined by the Western Blot.
