Sars-Cov-2 Detection by RT PCR: Req. No: 1121030093

A 23-year-old male presented with an oropharyngeal swab sample that tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 via RT-PCR. The test detected the virus' N gene with a CT value of 23.38, confirming a positive result for COVID-19. However, negative results do not rule out infection and limitations include the possibility of false negatives from improper sample handling or if taken too early or late in infection. The patient should consult their referring physician for appropriate follow up.

SARS-CoV-2 Detection By RT PCR
Test Name Observed Values

SARS-CoV-2 virus detection (N Gene) : Detected (CT Value:23.38)

Interpretation: Specimen is Positive for COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)


LIMITATIONS

• Performance of 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel has only been established in upper and lower respiratory
specimens (nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs, sputum, lower respiratory tract aspirates, bronchoalveolar lavage, and
nasopharyngeal wash/aspirate or nasal aspirate).
• Negative results do not preclude 2019-nCoV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient
management decisions. Optimum specimen types and timing for peak viral levels during infections caused by 2019-nCoV
have not been determined. Collection of multiple specimens (types and time points) from the same patient may be necessary
to detect the virus.
• A false negative result may occur if a specimen is improperly collected (late or very early in the infection), transported or
handled. False negative results may also occur if amplification inhibitors are present in the specimen or if inadequate
numbers of organisms are present in the specimen. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with
other viruses.
• Test performance can be affected because the epidemiology and clinical spectrum of infection caused by 2019-nCoV is not
fully known.
NOTE
1. ICMR Regd No. For COVID-19 Testing : LMDPST
2. COVID-19 test is conducted using ICMR/NABL/USFDA approved Kit.
3. Kindly consult referring Physician / Authorized hospitals for appropriate follow up.
