Hepatitis profile interpretation by microcomputer.

A simple BASIC computer program for interpreting two serologic markers of hepatitis A virus infection and five serologic markers of hepatitis B virus infection is described. The program is based on a two-dimensional matrix (table) containing all possible combinations of positive and negative test results with their associated interpretations. Clinically relevant reports are consistent, reliable, and legible. Sample reports are included.

Sequential CK and LD isoenzyme interpretation by microcomputer.

A microcomputer program for rapidly interpreting and reporting sequential creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes written in BASIC is described. The program uses a combination of algorithmic logic and matrix-searching functions, correlates abnormalities from up to three patient samples, and arrives at a pattern diagnosis. Program execution is simple and has proved reliable in 1,000 samples from a large university hospital and a medium-sized community hospital.
