CONCLUSION
Recent experiences at our hospitals suggest that despite high specificity of RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2, positive screening tests in the absence of other symptoms or classic findings of the disease should be rigorously verified before urgent care is delayed. It is a disservice to our patients not to remain vigilant to possible false positive tests as the resultant clinical implications can jeopardize the safety of our patients. We recommend a multidisciplinary approach for investigation, including re-evaluation of RT-PCR titers by pathologists, repeating RT-PCR on a different testing platform, and obtaining a CT of the chest, particularly for patients who do not have other chest pathology. Testing for immunoglobulins specific for SARS-CoV-2 antigens was not yet widely available at the time of these interventions, but this may prove useful as it becomes more readily available.
