Retrospective serosurveillance for anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin during a time of low prevalence : A cautionary tale

Crown Copyright © 2021. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

We performed a retrospective screening of 428 serum samples for anti-SARS-CoV-2  immunoglobulin during a period of low prevalence. Employing two different serological tests yielded discrepant results for 10 samples; highlighting an increased risk of potential  false positive results and the need for further confirmatory testing before publication of data.
