Subjects
SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, Nasopharyngeal swab, Infectious and parasitic diseases, RC109-216
Abstract

There remains diagnostic uncertainty regarding the sensitivity of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in detection of SARS-CoV-2 from nasopharyngeal specimens. We present a case where two nasopharyngeal specimens were negative, followed by a positive sputum sample. Serial testing for COVID-19 is indicated in patients with high pretest probability of disease.
