"False positive" and "false negative" in nucleic acid testing
A "false positive" in a nucleic acid test means that the patient was not originally infected with the new coronavirus, but the nucleic acid test showed a positive result. The occurrence of this "false positive" is usually due to cross-contamination between specimens or laboratory nucleic acid contamination during laboratory testing. From a technical perspective, as long as the laboratory strictly implements quality control work, the occurrence of "false positives" can be effectively avoided. A "false negative" in a nucleic acid test means that the patient's clinical symptoms, lung imaging results and even epidemiological history all support COVID-19, but the patient's viral nucleic acid test result is "negative" and the test result is inconsistent with the clinical setting.
