Positive test result

A pregnant woman who had tested positive for an infection contacted us when she received the results from Public Health Ontario and realized that the wrong follow-up test had been done. We made inquiries with staff at the Public Health Laboratory, who determined that the woman’s doctor hadn’t included all the necessary information on the test requisition form. The woman saw a second doctor and was able to get the required test, confirming there was no risk to her pregnancy. She told us: “Thank you again for your help! Now I can breathe easy and enjoy my pregnancy!”
