BACKGROUND: Tissues from cadaveric donors are used in several clinical circumstances, and the transmission of infectious diseases has been reported. Cadaveric donor (CD) blood sample analysis is challenging due to its poor quality. However, studies have demonstrated the usefulness of molecular based methods, and the lack of studies using available commercial molecular tests was reported.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance, specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of different commercial molecular tests for HIV and HCV detection and quantification in CD through spiked samples.

STUDY DESIGN: 20 CD and 20 blood donor samples were tested using 1,000 copies/mL and 1,000 IU/mL of lyophilized standards of HIV and HCV, respectively. Samples were analyzed by different molecular kits: XPERT HCV Viral Load and HIV-1 (Cepheid), COBAS® TaqMan® HIV-1 and COBAS® TaqMan® HCV Test, v2.0 (Roche), and artus® HI Virus-1 QS-RGQ and artus® HCV RG RT-PCR Kit (Qiagen).

RESULTS: HIV and HCV in CD were detected by RT-PCR-based quantitative kits. The tests performed by the Cepheid and the Roche kits showed the most accurate, sensitive and specific results, however, a wide variability between the assays and kits was observed. The Qiagen kits did not demonstrate satisfactory results.

CONCLUSIONS: CD evaluation showed great variability. The Cepheid and Roche kits were more sensitive for detecting HIV on CD and Cepheid was the most efficient kit for HCV quantification in CD. The Roche and Cepheid kits can be used to screen tissue donors for HIV and HCV.
