bysort pat_id : egen select = total(test == "IFA")
by pat_id : egen reject = total(inlist(test, "DFA", "CULT", "BIN"))
keep if select & !reject
Your example implies that some tests might be repeated. If there were
exact rules on such repetition then the code might be shorter; and
possibly otherwise.
