'False-positive' and 'false-negative' test results in clinical urine drug testing.
The terms 'false-positive' and 'false-negative' are widely used in discussions of urine drug test (UDT) results. These terms are inadequate because they are used in different ways by physicians and laboratory professionals and they are too narrow to encompass the larger universe of potentially misleading, inappropriate and unexpected drug test results. This larger universe, while not solely com...
متن کاملFalse Negative Results in Clostridium difficile Testing
BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is paramount for patient management. The wrong diagnosis places patients at risk, delays treatment, and/ or contributes to transmission of infection in the healthcare setting. Although amplification of the toxin B gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a sensitive method for detecting toxigenic C. difficile, false negati...
متن کاملMechanismof False-Negative Urine CannabinoidImmunoassayScreens by VisineTMEyedrops
To drug-free urine specimens, we added the following drugs of abuse to give concentrations twice the cutoff value for positive test results: 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (9-carboxy-THC), oxazepam, secobarbital, morphine, benzoylecgonine, amphetamine, or phencyclidine (PCP). Visine was then added. Although measured concentrations of several drugs were decreased in the presence o...
متن کاملUse of serum myoglobin assays for urine myoglobin measurements can cause false-negative results.
Several conditions, including rhabdomyolysis, trauma, and surgery, are associated with the release of large amounts of myoglobin into the circulation. Saturation of the salvage system of the kidney will produce myoglobinuria, a condition associated with acute renal failure (ARF). The exact mechanism is not known, but precipitation of myoglobin in the tubules and myoglobin-mediated formation of ...
متن کاملFalse-positive and false-negative rates in meconium drug testing.
To determine the number of false-negative results produced by inefficient extraction of drugs from meconium, three published procedures were compared by using previously confirmed positive and negative meconium specimens. The methods were not equivalent in their ability to extract drugs from the matrix. To determine the number of false positives reported by the use of screen-only (unconfirmed) ...
