National Retrovirus Reference Center, Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology and Medical Statistics, Athens University Medical School, Goudi, Greece
Virol J 8:10. 2011..HIV-1 is characterized by increased genetic heterogeneity which tends to hinder the reliability of detection and accuracy of HIV-1 RNA quantitation assays...
Evaluation of the clinical sensitivity for the quantification of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA in plasma: Comparison of the new COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 with three current HIV-RNA assays--LCx HIV RNA quantitative, VERSANT HIV-1 RNA 3.0 (bDNA) and COBAAntigoni Katsoulidou
Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology, National Retrovirus Reference Center, Athens University Medical School, and General Hospital of Athens G. Gennimatas, Greece
J Virol Methods 131:168-74. 2006..96). In conclusion, the new COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 test showed excellent agreement with other widely used commercially available tests for the quantitation of HIV-1 viral load...
Development of a new ultra sensitive real-time PCR assay (ultra sensitive RTQ-PCR) for the quantification of HBV-DNADimitrios Paraskevis
Department of Hygiene Epidemiology and Medical Statistics, Medical School, University of Athens, Athens, Greece
Virol J 7:57. 2010..Improved sensitivity of HBV-DNA tests is of critical importance for the management of HBV infection. Our aim was to develop and assess a new ultra sensitive in-house real-time PCR assay for HBV-DNA quantification (ultra sensitive RTQ-PCR)...

Molecular characterization of occult hepatitis B cases in Greek blood donorsAntigoni Katsoulidou
Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology, Athens University Medical School, Athens, Greece
J Med Virol 81:815-25. 2009..HBsAg diagnostic failure and low viral replication in occult HBV infection carriers could possibly be attributed to multiple changes in envelope and polymerase regions, respectively...
Integrating phylodynamics and epidemiology to estimate transmission diversity in viral epidemicsGkikas Magiorkinis
Department of Hygiene, Epidemiology and Medical Statistics, Medical School, University of Athens, Athens, Greece
PLoS Comput Biol 9:e1002876. 2013..We anticipate that this integrated approach will form the basis of powerful tools for describing the transmission dynamics of chronic viral diseases, and for evaluating control strategies directed against them...
Incidence and patterns of hepatitis C virus seroconversion in a cohort of hemodialysis patientsVana Sypsa
Athens University Medical School, Athens, Greece
Am J Kidney Dis 45:334-43. 2005..CONCLUSION: On the grounds of apparent nosocomial transmission, the wide window period of HCV infection in HD patients emphasizes the need for strict adherence to specific infection-control measures in this setting...
Comparison of three current viral load assays for the quantitation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA in plasmaAntigoni Katsoulidou
Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology, Athens University Medical School, 75 Mikras Asias Street, GR 115 27 Athens, Goudi, Greece
J Virol Methods 121:93-9. 2004..96). The fitted regression line was described by the equation log10(LCx copies/ml) = 0.06 + 1.03 x log(10)(Monitor v1.5 copies/ml) with 95% CI for the estimated slope and intercept at 0.97, 1.09 and -0.16, 0.28, respectively...
