  • Title: False-positive hemagglutination inhibition tests for pregnancy with tubo-ovarian abscess.
    Author: Jacobson E, Rothe D.
    Journal: Int J Gynaecol Obstet; 1980; 17(4):307-11. PubMed ID: 6102046.
    Abstract:
    A 21% incidence of false-positive hemagglutination inhibition tests for pregnancy associated with tubo-ovarian abscess is described. Five illustrated cases and the causes for such false-positive reactions are discussed. Substances generated by pelvic inflammatory masses may interfere with immunologic assays for pregnancy, resulting in misdiagnosis or inappropriate management.
