The paper discusses the most frequent causes of false positive and false negative results of reactions based on amplification of nucleic acids. All stages of the method are described beginning with sample collection up to the finishing of visualization of amplification product. The main aim objective of the publication is to draw doctors' attention to the necessity to interpret the result with criticism. We attempted also to demonstrate how to avoid false results.
