A False-Negative Test May Be Caused by All the Following

Question

A false-negative test may be caused by all the following immune system-mediated reasons, except
A) allergic reaction.
B) no immune response.
C) immunodeficiency disease.
D) immunosuppression.

Allergic reactions are not typically associated with causing false-negative test results. The other options (no immune response, immunodeficiency disease, and immunosuppression) can all result in a weakened or non-existent immune response, leading to a false-negative test result.
