Methodology -
Qualitative RT PCR.
Clinical Significance:
This test is used for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus that causes coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19). SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs primarily via respiratory droplets.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion,
runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop
any symptoms and don't feel unwell. Most people recover from the disease without needing special treatment. Few people who gets COVID-
19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure,
heart problems or diabetes,are more likely to develop serious illness.
Upper respiratory specimens ( e.g., Nasopharynx, oropharynx) are usually adequate for testing early-stage infections, especially in
asymptomatic or mild cases.
Lower respiratory specimens (eg, sputum, tracheal aspirate, bronchoalveolar fluid) are advised if collected later in the course of the COVID-
19 disease or in patients with a negative upper respiratory tract sampling and there is a strong clinical suspicion of COVID-19.
Limitations :
Improper collection, storage or transport of specimens may lead to false negative or invalid results.
Test results should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s medical history, clinical signs and symptoms, and the results of other
diagnostic tests performed.
Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infections and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions.
Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA may be affected by sample collection methods, patient factors (e.g., presence of symptoms), and/or stage of
infection.
False negative or invalid results may occur due to interference or the presence of inhibitors. The Internal Control is included to help identify
the specimens containing interfering substances or inhibitors.
This is a qualitative test and is not indicative of the quantity of virus in the sample.
False negative results may occur if viruses are present at levels below the test’s limit of detection.
False negative results may occur if mutations are present in the regions targeted by the test.
A potentialy reduced sensitivity may occur when viral concentrations are at or near the limit of detection of the assay.
Analyte targets (viral nucleic acid) may persist in vivo, independent of virus viability. Detection of analyte targets does not imply that the
corresponding viruses are infectious, or are the causative agents for clinical symptoms.

Interpretation Guidelines:
E Gene - It is common for Serbecovirus family of viruses, it’s detection in absence of RdRp/N Gene requires further testing.
RdRp and N Gene - These genes are confirmatory for SARS-CoV-2.
Note: It is not recommended to rely on numerical Ct values for determining infectiousness of COVID-19 patients and deciding patient
management protocols
