COVID-19 PCR: frequency of internal control inhibition in the clinical practice

2023-03-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction: </h4> Diagnosis of COVID-19 is best performed with real-time PCR (qPCR), the most sensitive method for detection and quantification of viral RNA. Using the CDC protocol, for e ach sample tested for the virus, three qPCR tests are performed, targeting the viral genes N1, and N2, in addition to the internal control gene RNase P. Samples in which internal control fail to amplify should be labelled ‘...
