Inactivated pronase as the cause of false-positive results of serum cryptococcal antigen tests.
Four patients who had acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and who were evaluated for headache within a 3-week period had false-positive results of serum cryptococcal antigen tests. This cluster of false-positive test results appeared to be due to inactivation of the pronase vial in the test kit, a cause that has not been reported previously.

The highly specific and sensitive latex agglutination test for cryptococcal antigen detection in cerebrospinal fluid is routine in many hospitals. Contamination of cerebrospinal fluid by a minute amount of syneresis fluid (surface condensation) from agar gave a strongly positive reaction which was heat stable, was not eliminated by pronase treatment, and was not detected by the normal rabbit gl...

15 صفحه اولFalse-negative cerebrospinal fluid cryptococcal latex agglutination tests for patients with culture-positive cryptococcal meningitis.
Three cases of false-negative cerebrospinal fluid latex agglutination test results for patients with culture-positive cryptococcal meningitis are reported. False-negative results occurred in settings of low cryptococcal antigen concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid and were dependent on the latex agglutination test kit used. Investigation of each case revealed that prozone phenomena or interfer...
