The diagnosis of infection by COVID-19 is based on the clinical history, radiological tests and analytical tests. Thanks to the PCR technique we can confirm if there is any presence of the virus in the RNA. The presence of antibodies, IgG and IgM, provide information about the evolutionary state of the infection and allow you to know your immune status against COVID-19.
Real-time PCR
This is the preferred choice for the diagnosis of the presence of the COVID-19 virus and, therefore, of the possibility to infect others. It is a Molecular Diagnostics method based on the detection of RNA of the COVID-19 virus.
Type of collected sample: nasal or throat swab
Results ready in: 48h
Sensitivity: 99%
Serological Tests
They are focused on the detection of IgG or IgM Antibodies. These antibodies are present in a blood sample after the first few days of the infection, so they are not recommended to detect early stages of the disease but to know the immune status of people, as well as for epidemiological studies.
Type of collected sample: blood test
Results ready in: 48h
IgG Sensitivity: 91%
IgM Sensitivity: 75%
