COVID-19 RT-PCR Test Results Report

Ms. Gourim Singh Babbar, a 19-year-old female, tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 via a real-time RT-PCR test of a nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab. The test detected the virus' RdRP and N genes with a CT value of 16, indicating infectivity. While a positive result, clinical correlation is still needed due to several factors that can influence test accuracy, including specimen quality and timing. Repeat testing may be considered after 2-4 days if initially borderline positive or suspected clinical symptoms persist.

Real time Qualitative RT-PCR detection of 2019-nCOV RNA / COVID-19 RNA


PARAMETER RESULT
Result SARS-CoV-2: Detected (Positive)

Kit:Viral Detect II Multiplex(Genes2Me),Target gene(RdRP & N),Cutoff:<37


CT value for target gene 16

ICMR Registration No: Andheri-Mumbai- SUBUR001, Pune-SUDIIPLPMH

Specimen: Nasopharyngeal & Oropharyngeal swab in VTM Method: Real time RT-PCR

Note:

‡ Ct value indicates the infectivity and not severity of infection.


‡ ICMR recommended kits are used for reporting. All the positive cases will be notified to ICMR for further
surveillance.
‡ Clinical correlation with patient history, radiology findings and co-infection with other virus infection is necessary to
be determined especially in cases with Borderline positive Ct values.
‡ Borderline positive cases (Ct Value >30) may give variable results on repeat testing. The possible reasons could be the
variations in kits and instruments used.

Limitations:

‡ Optimum specimen types and timing of peak viral levels during infections caused by 2019-nCOV have not been
determined. Collection of multiple specimens (Types & Time points) may be necessary in view of suspected clinical
history. The repeat specimen may be considered after a gap of 2-4 days after the collection of first specimen for
additional testing if required. (other respiratory pathogens)
‡ Negative results do not preclude SARS - CoV - 2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient
management decisions.
‡ This test is a qualitative assay and does not quantify viral load. Various host factors, viral factors, variability in
sample collection / site and techniques used by the laboratories can affect Ct values. Therefore, Ct values are not an
absolute indication of viral load and should be interpreted with caution.

Factors leading to false negative RT-PCR report:

‡ Inadequate specimen collection, Poor quality of sample and non-representative sample.


‡ Sample collected too early or too late in the infection, Improper sample handling and shipment.
‡ Technical reasons- PCR Inhibitor, analytical sensitivity of kit used.
‡ Active recombination &/ mutations in target genes used for detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus.
