- Rare but persistent false positives on COVID-19 home antigen . . .
In a letter published in the New England Journal of Medicine, UMass Chan researchers reported analyses from the National Institutes of Health RADx program showing a small percentage of people, largely women with autoimmune disorders, persistently test positive on rapid home antigen tests for COVID-19 despite concurrently testing negative on molecular PCR tests

- Persistent False Positive Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Tests
Among more than 11,000 participants, 1 7% had at least one false positive rapid antigen test on the basis of RT-PCR results Persistent false positives tended to occur in women and in persons with
- The Implications of False Positives in Diagnostic Testing
PCR-related issues: PCR tests are highly sensitive, a key advantage that can also introduce unintended diagnostic challenges Contamination, overamplification, or non-specific binding may lead to false positives Implementing careful test design and stringent controls helps mitigate these risks Implications of False Positive Tests
- Why are some COVID test results false positives, and how . . .
There are a few reasons an RT-PCR test can result in a false positive Shutterstock Two COVID-19 cases previously linked to Melbourne’s current outbreak have now been reclassified as false positives They’re no longer included in Victoria’s official case counts, while a number of exposure sites linked to these cases have been removed

- Boosting Accuracy, Reducing False Positives of PCR COVID-19 . . .
The U S Food and Drug Administration approved the first PCR test for COVID-19 in the spring of 2020 However, during widespread use the test is vulnerable to false negatives—especially as the virus evolves into new variants that might escape detection—and false positives as through contamination by other samples in a testing lab
