Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has played havoc on this world's health and economics since its outbreak in December 2019. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has been the gold standard to diagnose severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Still, few false-positive reports are emerging up that add to the physicians' dilemma and maintenance of health statistics.
Keywords: Coronavirus disease 2019; False-positive RT-PCR; Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.
