agree  María Eugenia Wachtendorff: Absolutamente de acuerdo. Es el lenguaje que se usa en los estudios :)

agree  Alexis Rodriguez: Muy acertado. Sin embargo, quisiera agregar que coloquialmente es más común escuchar que el paciente dio positivo o resultó positivo. Supongo que los eruditos en el tema dirán que son los resultados del estudio y los legos que son los pacientes.
