摘要
The drug screen test on a 12-year-old male patient was positive for opiates by a kinetic interaction of microparticles in solution (KIMS) immunoassay method on the Roche Cobas C502. The positive opiates result was not confirmed by the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) method. A chart review revealed that the patient had tuberculosis and was on rifampin. We spiked rifampin into drug-free urine and tested opiates with the Cobas method. Once again, a positive result was obtained. This case showed that rifampin can still cause false positive opiate results measured with the KIMS method. We want to stress the importance of confirming positive screen results by more specific methods such as LC-MS/MS.
