Course: Medical Laboratory Technology II (14102-II) > Section: Understanding the Basics of Immunology/Serology

Correlation should include linking abnormal immunology/serology laboratory results with disease processes (e.g., HIV, scleroderma, allergies).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What does a positive rapid plasma regain (RPR) test mean? What further testing should be performed? Why?
- What does a positive screening test for HIV indicate? What further testing should be performed? Why?
- What does a radioallergosorbent test (RAST) measure? How does a RAST work? How are RAST results useful in patient diagnosis?
- What is the difference between screening and confirmatory tests, and how are they used?
