(MedPageToday) Northshore Clinical Labs’ PCR test was ultimately found to have missed 96% of positive COVID-19 cases on a university campus in Nevada last year, but early concerns raised by state epidemiologists went unheeded as the company aggressively pursued government customers. When students from a Nevada school district began receiving conflicting test results from their COVID antigen and PCR tests last winter, Heather Kerwin, an epidemiology program manager in Washoe County, raised red flags about a potential problem with Northshore Clinical Labs. She investigated further, and noticed a similar pattern of conflicting test results at the University of Nevada in Reno, which used the same testing company.
