Key Points

  • An algorithm improves diagnosis accuracy for positive norovirus cases, reducing retesting efforts.
  • With the introduction of Ct values and melting curve analysis, workflow in laboratories becomes more efficient.
  • This observational analysis highlights common false positives associated with the BF-GIP technique.
  • Accurate diagnosis support is critical in pediatric healthcare settings, calling for better management practices.

Abstract

False norovirus-positive results by the BF-GIP are common. An algorithm integrating BF-GIP Ct values and melting curve analysis can reduce unnecessary retesting, streamline laboratory workflow and support accurate diagnosis in pediatric settings.
