We report a novel one-step immunochromatographic strip test for the rapid, qualitative detection of nevirapine in plasma samples from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients. The sensitivity was 100% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 97.8 to 100%), and the specificity was 99.5% (95% CI, 97.2 to 99.9%). The limit of detection was 25 ng/ml. Immunochromatographic strip tests are simple, rapid, and cheap assays that could greatly facilitate drug level monitoring in resource-limited settings.specialized052 Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy5193361336320070066-4804http://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR0000187310.1128/AAC.00445-07IRD Bondyhttp://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00001873IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes2007-11-062010-08-04PAR00001873fre
