False-Negative Results of Real-Time Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2: Role of Deep-Learning-Based CT Diagnosis and Insights from Two Cases.

Category:

Topic:

  • This case study presents two false negative results of real-time RT-PCR which is regarded as the gold standard method for confirming SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study discusses using complementary approaches such as computed tomography (CT) in combination with rRT-PCR to achieve more reliable diagnosis.
