Letter to NEJM Editor, Feb 2024: Persistent False Positive Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Tests www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... Folks with rheumatoid factor could experience false positives on RATs :O

CORRESPONDENCE Persistent False Positive Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Tests February 22, 2024 N Engl J Med 2024; 390:764-765 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMc2313517 Metrics TO THE EDITOR: Rapid antigen tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are effective tools for the diagnosis of acute infection, particularly when used serially.1 The percentage of rapid antigen tests with false positive results is reported to be less than 1%.2 However, we have observed persons who repeatedly test positive with rapid antigen tests despite concurrent negative molecular tests; this infrequent phenomenon occurs predominantly among women and persons with autoimmune disorders. Among 11,297 participants who performed 76,610 days of testing, 1.7% had at least 1 false + RAT. Of the 191…with false + results, 13 had persistent false +. Most…persistent false + results were women (12/13) & used the Quidel QuickVue RAT (12/13). We found a higher prevalence of…autoimmune disorders among…persistent false + than among…incidental false +[…] […] This finding has substantial clinical relevance. The persistent false + may be a result of cross-reactivity of test antibodies with rheumatoid factor & could potentially occur in any patient who has a condition characterized by circulating rheumatoid factor. Because testing for SARSCoV2 is commonly performed among symptomatic patients, false + results may be unrecognized clinically. However, persons who encounter persistent + tests after infection or in the absence of symptoms may find reassurance in the recognition of this uncommon but known phenomenon.

He ain’t leaving. He’s building a gold palace for his fat orange ass.

People thought I was overreacting when I said Trump’s list of “banned” words meant epidemiology was itself defacto being banned. But this week U Michigan announced they aren’t even accepting applications for the 2026 epi PhD admissions cycle. www.michigandaily.com/news/news-br...

🤔 The sloppiness of the cover-up here is astounding

Yep, I’m a retired nutritionist and one post on X was all it took for him to block me. Any fact at all, no matter how small, is a huge threat to this dude.

Oh to be a fly on the wall for whatever led to his exit.

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”
