HIV false positive results and Flu vaccination
Abstract False positive results are the major problem influencing interpretation of Clinical Laboratory test. They are originated mostly in the other diseases, technical errors and the recent vaccination. The problem has been presented since 1991 is positive HIV test after influenza Vaccination (1). The False positive has been reported in Cases using Eliza, one of The most common test to screen...
متن کاملReducing heterophilic antibody interference in immunoassays using single-chain antibodies.
Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) microarrays can simultaneously quantify the levels of multiple diagnostic targets in a biological sample. However, as with traditional ELISA diagnostics, endogenous antibodies in patient sera can cause interference. We demonstrate here that reducing the diagnostic capture antibody to its minimal functional unit (i.e., a single-chain antibody fr...
متن کاملRaised tryptase without anaphylaxis or mastocytosis: heterophilic antibody interference in the serum tryptase assay.
Mast cell tryptase (MCT) is a key diagnostic test for mastocytosis and anaphylaxis. High serum tryptase levels are also one of the risk factors for adverse reaction in venom immunotherapy, yet occasional patients are seen with raised levels in the absence of either diagnosis. False positive results can be due to assay interference by heterophilic antibodies such as rheumatoid factor (RF) and hu...
متن کاملUnusual false-positive results of whole-body 131I scintigraphy: Four different case scenarios
Post-treatment or diagnostic whole-body radioiodine scintigraphy is widely used to assess the residual, recurrence, or metastases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma because of the high sensitivity and accuracy that this assessment provides. While bearing in mind all the diagnostic potential of this test, we have to consider its’ potential pitfalls, as well. Herein, we present 4 patients with d...
متن کاملNeonatal Cryptococcosis: Beware of False-positive Results.
Although cryptococcal meningitis is uncommon in children and rare in neonates, it does occur. We highlight circumstances in which the diagnosis should be considered and methods required to confirm the diagnosis in young patients.
