In this session, we will explore and highlight some of the most uncommon laboratory outcomes and learn the meaning behind the results. We will discuss tests performed in a large facility versus those done in a reference laboratory setting. We will also discuss subjects such as hepatitis A, B, and C, celiac disease, cardiac markers, ANA, antibody testing and rare microbiology organisms (ie, Y pestis, Hantavirus).
