Comment:
Biological Reference Rang
*Ct value < 35 is Positive
*Ct value >35 is Negative
Please Note:
*The cut-off of the reported CT value is as per the manufacturer.
*CT values vary with the type of kit used, the types of samples collected and the various pre-analytical factors.
*The published studies are conflicting to definitively prove a direct correlation between disease severity/infectiousness and CT
values therefore; relying on CT values for determining infectiousness of COVID-19 patients and deciding management protocols
is left to clinical discretion.
Result Interpretation
Indicates presence of detectable levels
Detected (Positive) Result
SARS-CoV-2 specific RNA (ORF1ab gene and/ or N gene) in patient’s sample.
NOTE:
If either of the genes cannot be determined or will give indeterminate results, further testing maybe required using another kit
with a different primer and probe.
A Not Detected (Negative) Resultdo not preclude SARS-CoV-2 and should not be used as the sole basis for patient
management decisions. Kindly repeat test after 48 to 72 hrs if clinically suspected.
Lower respiratory tract specimens are more representative and are preferred.
If at a later date, suspicion of COVID-19 is strong, a fresh sample for Real Time PCR after a gap of 2-4 days after collection
of first sample maybe considered.
Please contact your Physician for necessary action to be taken and to limit the spread of infection.
Clinical Correlation and Correlation with the history of the patient is required before arriving at any conclusion. Presence of
Non-Specific interfering substances during this assay to be kept in mind. Please correlate clinically before arriving at any
conclusion.
False positive and false negative results can be due to multiple factors including sampling technique, transport & interference in
the assay can affect the result.
Presence PCR inhibitors in sample may lead to false negative or invalid results.
Mutation in the target sequence of SARS-CoV-2 or change in the sequence due to virus evolution may lead to false negative
results.
Invalid Result: There is no typical S-shape amplification curve or Ct >35 or No Ct detected for target genes and internal
control, indicating the specimen concentration is too low, or there are interfering substances that inhibit the reaction. If upon
retest, the result is invalid again, another fresh sample should be collected and tested.
SARS-CoV-2 Virus:
SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped single stranded positive sense RNA virus belongs to family Coronoviridae. It carries largest single
stranded RNA genome of ~30kb and is the causative pathogen of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (3). The capsid consists of the
nucleocapsid protein N and this is further surrounded by a membrane, that contains three proteins: the membrane protein (M) and the
envelope protein (E), which are involved in the virus budding process, and the spike glycoprotein (S), which is a key player in binding
host receptor and mediating membrane fusion and virus entry into host cells (4).
