  PM will confirm the cause of the death. But every HIV +ve report should be confirmed by repeating the test with different kit.

  If she was an ectopic pregnancy, death could have been due to hemorrhagic shock and not the wrong result &o die of shock in hearing of HIV status. However a wrong result cannot be simply brushed aside. But we should remember false positive is known to occur in HIV. Repeat testing by two other methods should have been done before declaring anyone as HIV +. It has become the norm to blame the doctors for every mishaps that may occur to patient. No logical thought is given to actual sequence of events.

  Have you heard of any patient found to be HIV positive, to be dying due to shock of positive test. The culprit was ectopic pregnancy, which is being kept aside. Even Takotsubo cardiomyopathy mostly is reversible and rarely causes death. Even, here, patient does not become comatose.

  Only psychological condition which can cause death is Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. In this story, patient was unconscious, which is different. Likely she died from ectopic pregnancy.

  The death obviously is due to ectopic and not the wrong result . But of course a wrong result cannot be simply brushed aside. But we should remember false positive is known to occur in HIV. Repeat testing by two other methods and/or western blot should have been done before declaring anyone as HIV +

  But what about the ectopic pregnancy? She may have had a complication associated with what about the ectopic pregnancy, she could have had any complication associated with ectopic pregnancy. Ofcourse, the laboratories have to be more consencious and careful in reporting HIV status of any patient.

  If she was an ectopic pregnancy, it could have been haemorrhagic shock as very unlikely to die of shock in hearing of HIV status. It has become the norm to blame the doctors for every mishappening that may befall a patient. No logical thought is given to actual sequence of events.
