Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification testing is the gold-standard for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae testing in adults. We present 3 pediatric cases in which testing resulted in probable false-positive results. Clinicians should avoid tests without clearance from a regulatory agency and should maintain consistent communication with laboratories.
