STARHS may give false negative results in patients with advanced AIDS, those receiving HAART, and elite controllers [2].
Small peptides (less than 100 amino acids long) tend to give low scores, and their corresponding Rd.HMM frequently fail to extract sequences from the databases, and may give a negative value when they are forced to score their corresponding natural sequence.
He may give a negative response if he is in a bad mood.
Note that the RTE may give small negative or positive values in inward direction due to numerical reasons.
In immunosuppressed patients, HEV diagnosis by detection of HEV RNA is recommended, as testing for antibodies may give false negative results due to immunosuppression [ 2].
Consequently, biochemical examinations of even broader regional groupings may give false negative results because of opposing changes in different subregions (Gospe et al. 1996).
However, any molecular techniques have its own limits and may give false negative results which must be clearly known before undertaking a primary HPV screening.
As ial is found on the large inv plasmid which is prone to loss or deletions, this gene-based detection may give false negative results.
It is expected that a significant proportion of the fluid samples may give false negative results, limiting the usefulness of testing fluids to assess the infectious status of individual animals, or at least diminishing the reliability of a negative result.
