THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED BY THE INITIAL REPORTER: "OUR MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY DEPARTMENT RAN SOME OF OUR SAMPLES THAT WERE NEGATIVE FOR HLA-B27 BY FLOW CYTOMETRY AS PART OF THEIR VALIDATION OF THE LAMP MOLECULAR TEST (100% SPECIFICITY). 2 OUT OF THE FOUR FLOW NEGATIVE SAMPLES HAVE COME BACK POSITIVE BY LAMP.
