Abstract Synopsis

  • The study evaluated the false negative rate (FNR) and sensitivity of a lab-developed RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 by analyzing discordant test results from patients, finding a false negative rate of approximately 7-9%.
  • Most false negatives were linked to low viral loads in patients, emphasizing the importance of considering multiple samples and testing stages for accurate diagnosis.
  • The findings highlight the need for ongoing assessment of RT-PCR assay performance and suggest that clinical evaluation beyond test results is crucial to avoid missing COVID-19 cases.]
