Test Result: Interpretation Guidelines

Mr. Kunhimoideen, a 42-year-old male, tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) via a nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swab collected on 11-08-2021. The negative result indicates the absence of the virus but does not rule out infection completely, and a follow-up consultation with a physician is advised. The report includes disclaimers regarding the variability of RNA viruses and the importance of correlating test results with clinical findings.

TEST RESULT REPORT

Patient Name : Mr. KUNHIMOIDEEN Accession No : 010528617


Age/Gender : 42 Y / Male Patient UID : MHRL750021
Sample Collected : At Clinic Collection Date : 11-08-2021 23:49

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19) Detection by Real Time PCR (RTPCR) - Qualitative

TEST RESULT
SARS-COV-2 NEGATIVE
Specimen Nasopharyngeal / Oropharyngeal swab

ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) Registration No. : MICHEALLTHKK

SRF ID: 719/KZD/20210815444

INTERPRETATION GUIDELINES
POSITIVE 1) POSITIVE result indicates presence of SARS-CoV-2

NEGATIVE 1) “NEGATIVE” result indicates absence of SARS-CoV-2 in the given specimen. However, it does not rule out
the infection completely and should not be used as the sole basis for making decisions related to treatment and
other patient management decisions.
2) “NEGATIVE” result may be seen due to –
a. RT PCR done on Nasopharyngeal swab having 44% false negativity.
b. Test done too early or too late where the virus load is below detection limit.
c. Improperly collected and stored specimen.
d. Viral mutations

INCONCLUSIVE This could be due to low viral load in the sample. A repeat sample is recommended for confirmation after 48 to
72 hours

Patient Instructions:

• Kindly consult referring Physician/ Authorized Govt. hospital for appropriate follow up.
• Details of all the positive patients will be communicated to Epidemiology Cell whom you are requested to support.
• “Positive/Inconclusive” status needs to be notified to the appropriate authorities as per the existing rules/regulations.
• All “Positive/Inconclusive” reports will be released after reporting to regional health authorities.

Disclaimers:

1. RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19) have a lot of genetic variability and it’s possible that certain virus detection kits test
cannot detect some strains of the viruses. Although efforts were made by manufacturers of the diagnostic kits to design the test assays
that target the parts of viral genome which are shared by all the different circulating viral strains, there still might be some mismatch
between the primers and the probes used in the test and the target regions within the viruses.
2. Sensitivity of this test results depends upon the quality of the sample submitted for testing, stage of infection, type of the specimen
collected for testing, medical history and clinical presentation.
3. All approved kits being used also may have different positive and negative predictive values leading to mismatch of results.
