RAMIREZ-VELEZ, Andrés et al. Clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 with consecutive negative molecular tests. CES Med. [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.spe, pp.104-110. Epub 31-Ago-2021. ISSN 0120-8705. https://doi.org/10.21615/cesmedicina.34.covid-19.14.
One of the difficulties within the current COVID-19 pandemic is the lack of specificity and sensitivity of diagnostic tests. Different societies have proposed diagnostic algorithms that include molecular tests, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and diagnostic imaging. In our setting, we use the RT-PCR in nasopharyngeal lavage, even knowing its limitations in terms of sensitivity. In this article, we present the case of a male patient in whom COVID-19 is confirmed even after multiple negative molecular tests.
