Nitroblue tetrazolium reduction. False positive and false negative results.
Quantitative and histochemical nitroblue with polycythemia vera and neoplasia astetrazolium reduction (NBT) tests were persociated with fever, as well as in those with formed on leukocytes of 13 patients with known bacterial infection. It is suggested polycythemia vera, seven with chronic that patients with neoplasia or polycygranulocytic leukemia, eight with neothemia vera may show a false pos...
متن کاملFalse Negative Results in Clostridium difficile Testing
BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is paramount for patient management. The wrong diagnosis places patients at risk, delays treatment, and/ or contributes to transmission of infection in the healthcare setting. Although amplification of the toxin B gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a sensitive method for detecting toxigenic C. difficile, false negati...
متن کاملFalse-negative HIV antibody test results.
Ideally HIV antibody tests have to be both extremely sensitive and able to recognize all known HIV subtypes. Three patients whose sera failed to react with a synthetic oligopeptide-based HIV antibody test are described in this report. The patients were a Pakistani male infected recently, an Australian male infected for several years, and a Ugandan woman with AIDS. The presence of anti-HIV antib...
متن کاملInternal amplification controls have not been employed in fungal PCR hence potential false negative results.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is subject to false negative results. Samples of fungi with the genes of interest (e.g. a disease or mycotoxin) may be categorized as negative and safe as a consequence. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that are involved in many fields of human activity such as antibiotic, toxin and food production. Certain taxa are implicated in human, animal and plant diseases. H...
متن کاملA highly sensitive telomerase activity assay that eliminates false-negative results caused by PCR inhibitors.
An assay for telomerase activity based on asymmetric polymerase chain reaction (A-PCR) on magnetic beads (MBs) and subsequent application of cycling probe technology (CPT) is described. In this assay, the telomerase reaction products are immobilized on MBs, which are then washed to remove PCR inhibitors that are commonly found in clinical samples. The guanine-rich sequences (5'-(TTAGGG)n-3') of...
