Sars-Cov-2 (Covid19) Detection (Qualitative) by Real Time RT PCR

The document is a medical report for Mr. Nataraj P, indicating a positive SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) detection via RT-PCR testing conducted on July 4, 2022. The test showed detected RNA with CT values of 18.924 for the N gene and 19.76 for the ORF 1ab gene. It includes interpretation guidelines for detected and not detected results, emphasizing that a detected result indicates the presence of the virus, which may be asymptomatic.

SARS-CoV-2(COVID19) Detection (Qualitative) by Real Time RT PCR*

TEST : Qualitative RNA detection of SARS-CoV-2(COVID19)


Specimen Type : Nasal and oropharyngeal swab
Test Description : N and ORF 1ab gene detection
CT value for N gene : 18.924

CT value for ORF 1ab gene : 19.76

Result :

SARS-COV-2 RNA DETECTED

Instrument used for RTPCR: Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Dx / Rotor -gene Q -QIAGEN
Kit used: CoviPath COVID-19 RT-PCR Kit
Kit sensitivity: 100% (even at viral loads above 100,000 IU/ml)
Kit Specificity: 100% (even at viral loads above 100,000 IU/ml)
Limit of detection < 500 RNA copies/reaction
ICMR guidelines do not recommend sole dependence on Ct Value for patient management.
ICMR Registration no: RVMDHCCLBK

Interpretation guidelines:

A. For result as “DETECTED”:


1) Detected result indicates presence of SARS-CoV-2.
2) A repeat test of freshly collected specimen may give different result due to decrease in
viral load/varied viral shedding/variability in sample collection.
3) Patients with “Detected” result may be asymptomatic.
4) A detected result does not distinguish between a viable/replicating organism and a non-viable organism.
B. For result as “NOT DETECTED”:
1) “Not Detected” result indicates absence of SARS-CoV-2 in the given specimen. However, it does not
rule out the infection completely.
2) “Not detected” result may be seen due to -test done too early or too late where the virus
load is below detection limit and due to viral mutations.
3) If a subsequent test is tested positive (detected), it may indicate an infection acquired subsequently or
increase in viral load to detectable level after the first test.
