The urine pregnancy test is one of the most useful methods for initially excluding pregnancy emergencies in the emergency department (ED). Although most urine pregnancy tests are regarded to be up to 99% accurate, false-negative results may lead ED physicians toward considering incorrect diagnoses, mask critical conditions, and even influence patient safety. Therefore, blood pregnancy tests (quantitative measurements) are clinically used for second-line screening. A double false-negative result from two pregnancy tests is very rare and has scarcely been reported for life-threatening ruptured ectopic pregnancy patients. In this report, for the first time, we describe a rare case of a 32-year-old female who suffered a life-threatening ruptured ectopic pregnancy and who had a double pregnancy test (both urine and blood) that was a false negative.
尿妊娠试验是急诊科初步排除妊娠相关急症最有用的方法之一。尽管大多数尿妊娠试验被认为准确率高达99%,但假阴性结果可能导致急诊医生做出错误诊断、掩盖危急病情,甚至影响患者安全。因此,血妊娠试验(定量检测)在临床上用于二线筛查。两次妊娠试验均为假阴性的情况非常罕见,危及生命的异位妊娠破裂患者几乎未见报道。在本报告中,我们首次描述了一例罕见病例,一名32岁女性发生危及生命的异位妊娠破裂,其尿妊娠试验和血妊娠试验结果均为假阴性。
