MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
COVID-19 RT PCR (QUALITATIVE)
ICMR Registration No: RPPLPMP

The test has been performed at (Polo Labs Pvt. Ltd., IVY Hospital, Sector 71, Mohali).

Method: RT PCR
Specimen type: Nasopharyngeal swab

Targets Observation
E Gene (B-βCoV) Detected
RdRpGene and N gene (SARS-CoV-2) Detected
Ct Value (RdRpGene and N gene) 19.29
Conclusion Sample is POSITIVE for SARS-CoV-2 RNA
Remarks

Clinical utility of the test


Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). SARS-CoV-2, is the causative agent of the coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19). Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases,
infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome and organ failure. The SARS-CoV-2 RNA is generally detectable in nasopharyngeal /
oropharyngeal swabs during the acute phase of infection. Positive results are indicative of active infection. This assay is based on real-time PCR technology, for
the qualitative detection of COVID-19 Viral RNA. This Real Time PCR assay targets both the E-gene (B-βCoV) which is recommended as a screening gene to
detect the presence of lineage B-betacoronovirus and RdRp/N gene (SARS-CoV-2), which confirms presence of infection with COVID-19.

Note: This test is performed using ICMR approved kit.

Interpretation:
Sr.No. Result Comment
Both E gene AND RdRp and N gene Not Absence of E gene and SARS-CoV-2 RNA indicate no infection with
1 Detected Sarbecovirus (B-βCoV).
E gene Detected AND RdRp and N gene Presence of E gene indicates infection with Sarbecovirus (B-βCoV) BUT
2 Not Detected absence of SARS-CoV-2

Sr.No Result Comment

The highlighted values should be correlated clinically

5 Internal Control Not Detected
Repeat sample is requested

Test Attributes and Limitations:

1. Samples must be received at the laboratory under appropriate conditions within 48hrs of collection to ensure preservation of viral RNA.
2. Negative result does not rule out the possibility of Covid -19 infection. Presence of inhibitors, mutations & insufficient organism RNA can
influence the result. False Negative results may be seen in samples collected too early or too late in the clinical course of the infection. Kindly refer to the
latest ICMR guidelines.
3. A single negative test result, particularly if this is from an upper respiratory tract specimen, does not exclude infection. A positive alternate pathogen
does not necessarily rule out COVID-19 infection, as little is yet known about the role of coinfections.
4. Repeat sampling and testing of lower respiratory specimen is strongly recommended in severe or progressive disease. The repeat specimens may be
considered after a gap of 2 - 4 days after the collection of the first specimen for additional testing if required.

Patient Instructions:

1. Kindly consult referring Physician/ Authorized Govt. hospital for appropriate follow up.
2. Details of all the positive patients will be communicated to Epidemiology Cell whom you are requested to support.
3. “Positive” status needs to be notified to the appropriate authorities as per the existing rules/regulations, while we shall
also be doing the same.
