False Negative Blood Test??
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2012 6:44 am
Hello,
Two weeks ago I had a negative blood test for H. Pylori. I had an EGD done last week and the biopsy was positive for H. Pylori. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm wondering which was incorrect. I know the biopsy should be the correct one but I know pathologists make mistakes too. Just wondering how often this occurs because I can't find much online.
Thanks
