How COVID-19 PCR Test Performs

Description:

PCR test is the only way to detect whether a person is infected with COVID-19 virus at present or not! Until other screening methods for detecting COVID-19 get approved it is the only test which needs to perform at specific laboratory to obtain the result. But for doing so, sample of swab for COVID testing is needed. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: How COVID-19 PCR Test Performs


1
How COVID-19 PCR Test Performs
  • Read here how PCR Swab test detects this deadly
    virus so fast!

2
Where COVID-19 emerges at first?
  • At first, it was emerged in Wuhan city, China
    which gradually spread all over the world
    affecting about 200 subcontinents. It is an
    infection occurs from Coronavirus strain called
    SARS-CoV-2 leading to respiratory problems.

3
What is PCR test and how it is done?
  • Lab testing for COVID-19 to detect the presence
    of SARS-CoV-2 features with the method of
    identifying the presence of antibodies which
    develop due to the response of the infection by
    the immune system. It can be used for diagnosis
    and population surveillance with the infection.

4
In how many ways COVID-19 testing can be
performed?
  • PCR Testing for COVID-19
  • Non-PCR test
  • Chest CT scan and radiographs

5
PCR Tests
  • It is done by collecting swab sample from the
    throat and nose as it continues spreading in
    lungs. Non-PCR test can deliver the positive
    result within 5 minutes and negative result
    within 15 minutes only. Exclude measurement of
    temperature cycles.

6
CT-Scan is highly sensitive
  • This test is featured with less specificity where
    functional abilities overlap the disease
    procedures. So, it is not accepted to diagnose
    COVID-19. PCR swab test is yet preferable for
    diagnosing this virus.

7
Sample is compared with SARS-CoV-2
  • As, it has 100 nucleotides two genes comprised of
    the virus genome. Hence, it is analysed for
    figuring out the viral DNA. Other symptoms are
    also considered as well.

8
Due to the unavailability of vaccine till date,
it is advised to visit The Travel Clinic London
to perform PCR Testing in London at reasonable
prices.
