Warning for “Omicron” covids. Some brands of covid test kits don’t detect the infection – it gives false results.

from the epidemic of “New species of covid” or “Omicron” at the World Health Organization or WHO identified as a species of concern due to the rapid spread of infection and this germ has mutated at many points. and preliminary evidence found There is a risk of recurrence.

(27 Nov 2021) Genome Medical Center Ramathibodi Hospital posted a statement explaining that African scientists have “Upload” More than 115 samples of the genome of the 2019 coronavirus have been found in the World coronavirus database. “GISAID” It’s all right

at the Medical Genome Center Ramathibodi Hospital has downloaded the whole genome genetic code of “Omicron” All 115 samples were tested. with bioinformatics method with follow-up testers (PCR primer) of the test kit PCR on the way WHO Certification through the program “Nextclade”(https://clades.nextstrain.org/) It turned out that from a computer analysis of all 115 samples, it was likely that there was a problem with the test kit. PCR Some brands may have weaker positive results. (weakly positive) or cause false negatives (false negative) Because the inspector (PCR Primer) of such brands will bind to the genome of the species “Omicron” badly or unable to catch Because the virus has a lot of mutations.
