Article Title:	The perils of multiplex gastrointestinal pathogen panels: Pseudo-outbreaks of Salmonellae and Entamoeba histolytica in immunocompromised hosts
Abstract:	Two distinct clusters of gastroenteritis due to Salmonellae and Entamoeba histolytica (EH) were identified using a multiplex gastrointestinal pathogen panel (GPP) at a tertiary-care cancer center. Despite temporo-spatial overlap, our investigation did not corroborate transmission or true infection. In clinical practice, GPPs may render false-positive results.
