ABSTRACT
Drug of abuse (DOA) screening in urine is often performed in the clinical emergency setting. However, there is considerable evidence that questions the usefulness of this screening in the acute management of patients with suspected intoxications. The used method is an immunoassay, in which cross reactivity with false positive results may occur. A positive result does not always indicate current toxicity, a negative result does not exclude drug use or a current intoxication. Therefore, DOA screening has limited value in the acute clinical management of patients with intoxications.
