Sorry but I need traffic on this re coronavirus

[amsadandconfused]

So husbands PCR has come back as inconclusive. He was in close contact with people in his office who are positive . Has anyone else had inconclusive and what was the outcome with further tests? Have got a lot going on this weekend !

From the FAQs online....

What does an “inconclusive” result mean?
The UW SARS-CoV-2 Real-time RT-PCR assay targets two distinct gene regions (see SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Qualitative PCR [NCVQLT] for details). When one of the two targets, but not both, is present above the threshold for positivity, the test is reported as “inconclusive”. This is usually seen with low amounts of viral DNA. In practice, “inconclusive” results should be treated as presumptive positive COVID cases with a low viral load present.

The only person I know who had inclusive then tested positive

@amsadandconfused So basically, according to the above, it is highly likely to be positive, but might not be. Needs to test again ASAP.

He needs to take another test. You can’t go to events with one of you “inconclusive”.

I know two people who had inconclusive pcr results. Both then tested positive the next day. Sorry op. Hope your DH isn't suffering too badly

My dd had an inconclusive result and tested positive two days later.

Daughter tested positive after inconclusive

DH had this on his very first test because he hadn’t realised your not supposed to drink before hand. Retest came back negative.

My 18 month old had inconclusive then tested negative 24 hours later.

My son tested inconclusive twice then negative on the 3rd all a day apart as we had to keep doing it until we got a result.

My db is in a family of 8, 1 tested positive the rest inconclusive, 5 others tested positive a couple days later. Luckily didn't get the cystic fibrosis kids.

A busy weekends lovely, but it doesn't come above others, he isolates and retests.

My partner had an inconclusive test, retested and then received a negative result.

I had inconclusive and was negative on 2nd go.
I had 6 negative LFT and had a positive PCR 🤦‍♀️

Family sequence: DC first (on busy weekend - lots of T. & T. follow up), DH 5 days later, myself inconclusive (but with all their symptoms) then positive. All of us except DC still ill. Don't take the risk with people at the weekend.

Inconclusive is different to unreadable or void. Some of the descriptions above seem morenlike unreadable (e.g. Contaminated with food, or blood, or mucus)

Oh behave policing a thread

@DigitalGhost

You seriously tested your 17 month old daughter? Poor baby

I know two people who had a positive test after an inconclusive

@KalvinPhillipsManBun
If your baby develops a fever or cough while at nursery, most nurseries won't accept them back without a pcr test. I'm sure @DigitalGhost isn't just testing their 18 month old for fun

@KalvinPhillipsManBun

17 month old's can get covid as well. People are so dramatic. You do realise they sometimes test sick babies, especially if they are admitted to hospital for strains of flu and RSV etc? Long before covid ever existed and not too many people were jumping up and down over that! My own DC has been having swab tests from only a couple of months old and it was years before covid existed.

My teen dd tested inconclusive twice, the third time I took her and did the swab myself rather than letting her do it. She gagged and wasn’t very happy about me doing it, but it came back negative.

It could mean a number of things. Priority is to retest. I had an inconclusive, did it again. Negative.

I had inconclusive. Tested again the same day and came back positive.
