Deskripsi

Urine drug screening false-positives are reported for several drugs, which may lead to clinical misdiagnosis and have negative consequences for the patient on personal and social grounds, if not identified. False-positives for opiates are rare, but we report a case where high-dose levomepromazine was very likely involved.
