Estimate False-Negative RT-PCR Rates for SARS-CoV-2: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

2021-04-09

Abstract excerpt

Molecular-based tests used to identify symptomatic or asymptomatic patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 are characterized by high specificity but scarce sensibility, generating false negative results with important implications for the correct identification of infected patients and subsequent repercussions on the entire community. We aimed to estimate, through a systematic review of the literature, the rate of RT-PCR...
