Identifying Inconclusive Data in the SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Diagnostic Using Nucleocapsid Phosphoprotein Gene as a Target

Raphael Contelli Klein et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the fitness of 2 primer sets for the molecular diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 and verify the reliability of high Ct value samples. The results showed that one primer set can be used to identify SARS-CoV-2, but high Ct value samples may need to be retested to avoid false-positive diagnosis.

Dealing with inconclusive SARS-CoV-2 PCR samples-Our experience

Zhivka Stoykova et al.

Summary: Early confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for timely management. This study analyzed inconclusive samples with only one gene positive for the virus, finding that 0.8% of samples were inconclusive. Most of them had previous positive results, some had subsequent positive results, and a significant portion were false positives.

Quantitative analysis of SARS-CoV-2 RNA from wastewater solids in communities with low COVID-19 incidence and prevalence

Patrick M. D'Aoust et al.

Summary: In the absence of an effective COVID-19 vaccine, wastewater surveillance has emerged as a potential tool to track community infections. The study found that primary clarified sludge (PCS) samples are more suitable for quantifying SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA, while pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) is considered a potentially useful biomarker for normalizing SARS-CoV-2 signal.

Clinical and Epidemiologic Evaluation of Inconclusive COVID-19 PCR Results Using a Quantitative Algorithm

Shangxin Yang et al.

Summary: This study developed a quantitative algorithm to interpret inconclusive PCR results of COVID-19, revealing a high false-positive rate, especially among asymptomatic patients. Additionally, testing asymptomatic individuals was associated with a significantly higher probability of false positive results.

rRT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2: Analytical considerations

Rezgar Rahbari et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic is a significant global health problem that requires accurate and early detection for control and treatment; real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase-chain-reaction (rRT-PCR) is the gold standard, but false negative results and errors are possible; sources of error include pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical phases.

Katherine E. Graham et al.

Summary: The study indicates that measuring SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in settled solids may be a more sensitive approach than measuring SARS-CoV-2 in influent, providing important information for public health response to viral diseases like COVID-19.

Analytical and Clinical Evaluation of Two RT-qPCR SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Tests with Emergency Use Authorization in Ecuador

Byron Freire-Paspuel et al.

Summary: There are numerous RT-qPCR kits available for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis in the market, with significant differences in clinical performance and sensitivity between two commercially available kits evaluated in South America. It is recommended that only SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic kits with clinical authorization from their country of origin be exported to developing countries lacking proper evaluation agencies to prevent the impact of unreliable diagnosis during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A novel ORF1a-based SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay to resolve inconclusive samples

Ketki Jawade et al.

Summary: This article describes the development of a novel ORF1a-based SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay - Viroselect, which showed high concordance with conventional assays and ability to resolve inconclusive results during the peak of the epidemic in Mumbai, India. The assay demonstrated high overall agreement with both manual and automated testing platforms, providing a potential solution for inconclusive samples.

A faster and less costly alternative for RNA extraction of SARS-CoV-2 using proteinase k treatment followed by thermal shock

Adolfo Marcelo Nique et al.

Summary: One of the major challenges during the pandemic is the difficulty in obtaining and maintaining critical materials for molecular testing due to global shortages. Comparing different RNA extraction protocols for SARS-CoV-2 detection, it was found that an in-house method is an easy, fast, and cost-effective alternative.

Clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of inconclusive results in SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assays

Yong Kwan Lim et al.

Summary: Inconclusive results in SARS-CoV-2 molecular assays can lead to confusion and delays in infection prevention and control. This study found that about 36.3% of inconclusive results from confirmed cases were classified as presumptive positive results. Among inconclusive specimens, subgenomic RNA (sgRNA) was detected in about half of the samples, suggesting the need to consider inconclusive results as positive in confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2.
