    The patient underwent testing for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) using RT-PCR of a nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swab sample. The test result was negative, indicating the absence of SARS-CoV-2 in the sample. A negative result does not rule out infection, as the test can produce false negatives if the sample was collected too early or late in the illness. The test also has limitations such as inability to distinguish viable vs. non-viable virus and susceptibility to PCR inhibitors or contamination during sampling.

    MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
    SARS-CoV-2(COVID 19)DETECTION BY RT PCR Not Detected
    ( Method : RT PCR)
    ( Specimen: Nasopharyngeal/Oropharyngeal swab)

    Notes : .

    Detected:Indicates the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19)in the given specimen


    Not Detected:Indicates the absence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19)in the given specimen

    A “Detected” result is indicative of infection with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19) but does not rule out bacterial infection or
    co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.
    A “Not Detected” result does not rule out infection. A careful consideration to combination of epidemiological factors,
    clinical history, examination, other relevant investigation findings and treatment history should be done.
    Test Limitations:
    ----------------
    • A detected result does not distinguish between a viable/
    replicating organism and a non-viable organism.
    • False Negative results may be seen in samples collected too early or too late in the clinical course of the
    illness.Kindly refer to the latest ICMR guidelines.
    • Presence of PCR inhibitors in the sample may prevent DNA amplification. Paradoxical results may arise due selection
    of inappropriate specimens and contamination during specimen collection.
    • Sensitivity of this test depends upon the quality of the sample submitted for testing and stage of the infection.

    Comments:
    ----------
    ICMR Registration Number:ASLCTN
    Kindly consult referring Physician/ Authorized Govt. hospital for appropriate follow up.
    Details of all the positive patients will be communicated to Epidemiology Cell – Greater Chennai corporation.
    Please ensure to notify the local / state/ federal authorities as per the existing rules/regulations.
