Coding-complete genomic sequence of a rhinovirus C-32 in a human nasal swab sample that tested false positive in a SARS-CoV-2 antigen test.

Abstract

Rhinovirus-A was previously shown to cause false-positive results in a Japanese SARS-CoV-2 antigen test. We report that a false-positive result was obtained in a specimen with rhinovirus C-32 that had been tested using an American SARS-CoV-2 antigen test.
