Laboratory Report: Test Result
Laboratory Report: Test Result
Method: Real Time PCR (RT PCR) Open System .- Qualitative
ICMR ID : NIMSMT
NABL REF ID: MC - 3388
Note:
Assay result should not be interpreted only in the context of other laboratory findings and the total clinical status of patient.
Interpretation Guidance:
1. Testing of referred clinical specimens was considered on the basis of request/referral received from/through State Surveillance
Officer(SSO) of concerned State Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) / any other health care facility affirming requirements
of the case definition’s.
2. A single negative test result, particularly if this is from an upper respiratory tract specimen, does not exclude infection*
3. A positive test result is only tentative, and will be reconfirmed by retesting. Repeat sampling and testing of lower respiratory specimen
is strongly recommended in severe or progressive disease. The repeat specimens may be considered after a gap of 2 - 4 days after the
collection of the first specimen for additional testing if required.
4. *A positive alternate pathogen does not necessarily rule out either, as little is yet known about the role of coinfections.
