Objectives: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) assays are commonly used as a pregnancy test. False-positive human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) values in urine were reported in 15 patients (nine males and six females) presenting with urinary tract infection.
Methods: Extopic hCG production and presence of heterophilic antibodies were excluded as potential causes of interference.
