NORTON DAVID 27 years /M UKID: KH1000469135 Doctor: Extema Speciality: General Service| Diagnostics Cinics Test date: 09 Apr 2021 Department of Laboratory Medicine: Inf Molecular Biology SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) by PCR COMMENT Specimen Nasopharyngeal swab SARS CoV-2 RNA Not Detected ‘Method Real-Time Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (fRT-PCR) Instrument Rotorgene Q (5 plex) , Qiagen + Remarks: 1) SARS CoV-2 virus, also known as, 2019-nCoV is the causative agent of COVID-19 disease. + 2) A Detected result indicates the presence of SARS CoV-2 RNAin the clinical specimen. A Not Detected result indicates the absence of SARS CoV-2 RNA in the clinical specimen. + 3) The assay targets E gene (B-SCoV specific)/ S gene / N gene / ORF 1ab (SARS CoV-2 specific) . Amplification of only one of the two target genes may be due to low viral load levels, close to the limit of detection (LOD) of the test, or due to a mutation in one of the two target sequences. +4) Negative results could occur due to very low viral load or clearance of SARS CoV-2 virus. Anegative result, particularly from an upper respiratory specimen, does not exclude infection. + 5) A positive alternate pathogen, does not necessarily rule out COVID-19, as ittle is known about the rate of ‘co-infections. All the results should always be correlated with clinical status and history of the patient, + 6) This is a qualitative test and results are not indicative of the viral load in the tested specimen. Variabil host or virus specific factors, specimen collection technique, specimen transport & storage, etc., can lead to variation in the Ct value. Hence, Ct values should not be considered an absolute indicator of viral load. Limitations: PCR is a highly sensitive technique; common reasons for paradoxical results are contamination during specimen collection, selection of inappropriate specimen and inherent PCR inhibitors in the sample. * Kokilaben Hospital Laboratory, Andheri (West) , Mumbai is permitted to conduct laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2) [ICMR ID: KOKILOO1} Lab no 2285 qos Dr. Swota Shah, M.D., Microbiology ot" END OF REPORT ***** Consultant Microbiologist Page 1 of 1 ‘Specimen No: 8021009469 | Specimen type: Nasal Swab ‘Authorized by Dr SWETA SHAH ‘Ordered: 09 Apr 2021 07:56PM ‘Collected: 09 Ape 202% OB:0TPM Registered: 09 Apr 2021 08:37PM ‘Authorized: 10 Apr 2021 03:23PM Printed: 10 Apr 2021 03:41PM Reprinted: 10 Apr 2021 04:10PM
