Molecular Analysis For Qualitative Detection of Sars-Cov-2.: Negative Negative Negative Pass
Interpretation
2019-nCoV NEGATIVE
Note :
Test report should be correlated with the clinical presentation and findings.
The LOD for the three target genes is 10 copies/reactions.
A negative result does not rule out 2019-nCoV and should not be used on the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.
A number of factors could lead to a negative in an infected individual including
o Poor quality of the specimen, containing inadequate patient material or non-representative specimen.
o The specimen wan collected late or very early in the infection. Optimum specimen types and timing for peak viral levels during infections caused by
2019-nCoV have not been determined. Collection of multiple samples from the same patient may be necessary to detect the virus.
o The specimen was not handed and shipped appropriately.
o Technical reasons inherent in the test, e.g. Virus mutation or PCR inhibition.
o Inadequate numbers of organisms are present in the specimen.
Reports will be provided to the treating physician who in requested to communicate the same to the patent and follow MOHFW policy tor isolation,
quarantine and treatment of all positive cases along with contact tracing as recommended.
Repeat sampling and testing of lower respiratory specimen in strongly recommended in severe or progressive disease.
The repeat specimen may be considered after gap of 2 – 4 days after the collection of the first specimen for additional testing if required.
Categories of viral load is based on Cycle threshold (Ct) detected by RT PCR.
1. High Viral Load : 17 to 24
2. Moderate Viral Load : 24 to 30
3. Low/Mild Viral Load : 31 to 38.
