The role of sub-genomic RNA in discordant results from RT-PCR tests for COVID-19
2021-12-16
Abstract excerpt
Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) is the standard method of diagnosing COVID-19. An inconclusive test result occurs when one RT-PCR target is positive for SARS-CoV-2 and one RT-PCR target is negative within the same sample. An inconclusive result generally requires retesting. One reason why a sample may yield an inconclusive result is that one target is at a higher concentration than another target. It was hypoth...
