When and why the test is performed<\/h3>\n

Testing for IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 is performed to assess possible exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19. IgM antibodies may be detected at least 7-10 days (on average, on day 8) after the onset of symptoms.<\/p>\n

Preparing for the test<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • The sample used for the test is blood,\u00a0\u00a0 \u200b\u200b \u200b\u200b<\/li>\n
  • You do not need to fast<\/li>\n
  • You should wear a face mask during sample collection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong> we do not see patients with an active infection and symptoms of infection<\/strong><\/p>\n

    About the test<\/h3>\n

    Tests that detect specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies complement PCR testing. Serological testing starts to play a role in the later phase of infection, when the sensitivity of molecular testing gradually decreases due to a fall in the number of viral particles in the lining of the respiratory tract.<\/p>\n

    IgM antibodies are associated with the \u201cearly phase\u201d of infection, and their presence may indicate an active infection. They are the optimal choice for patients without symptoms who suspect they have been in contact with an infected person.<\/p>\n

    A positive result, i.e. the presence of IgM antibodies, does not in itself establish a diagnosis.<\/p>\n

    Serological test results should not be used as a basis for diagnosing or ruling out SARS-CoV-2 infection, or for determining infection status. Positive results may be caused by a past or ongoing infection with coronavirus strains other than SARS-CoV-2, such as coronavirus HKU1, NL63, OC43 or 229E. To definitively rule out or confirm SARS-CoV-2 infection, molecular testing using the RT PCR technique must be performed.<\/p>\n

    The turnaround time<\/strong> for the antibody test result is currently 7 days.<\/p>\n
