False-Positive Total T3 Using the Ortho Vitros Immunoassay in Pediatric Populations
TO THE EDITOR: Total triiodothyronine (T3) (TT3) measurements can provide clinical utility elucidating T3-dominant Graves' disease and other thyrotoxicosis conditions. Thyroid hormone assays, including TT3, are susceptible to protein-based interferences, usually caused by endogenous antibodies. Interferences should be considered when the thyroid hormone concentrations are inconsistent with clin...
متن کاملFalse positive blood tacrolimus concentration in microparticle enzyme immunoassay.
The difference in the blood concentration of tacrolimus between the assay methods, microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was observed in a liver transplant recipient with anemia. MEIA provided significantly higher concentration than those of ELISA (7.8+/-1.9 vs. 5.0 +/- 1.8nglml, p<0.05) while the patient had low haematocrit <25%. The difference, ...
متن کاملOpiate-positive immunoassay screen in a pediatric patient.
A 3-year-old girl was transferred from an outside hospital to the emergency department after being found shivering and unattended outside of a public shopping area in winter.

متن کاملFalse positive immunoassay for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in the presence of monoclonal gammopathy: a case report
Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening disorder which diagnosis depends on laboratory evaluation. The objective of this report is to present the impact of different laboratory methods for HIT detection on the diagnostic evaluation process. In this case, a 78-year old female patient previously diagnosed with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) was admi...
متن کاملFrequency of false positive responses in patients with multiple positive reactions in patch test
Background and aim: Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin response due to contact with environmental materials manifested as acute or chronic eczema. Patch test is the standard test to recognize responsible allergen. The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of false positive patch test responses in patients with Exited Skin Syndrome (ESS).Materials...
